WHAT'S HAPPENING AT MONONA PUBLIC LIBRARY
Temporary Closure of Monona Public Library Saturday, May 20 beginning at 11:30AM for Staff to Attend a Memorial Service

Monona Public Library will be closed this Saturday, May 20th from 11:30AM through the rest of the day to allow our staff members to attend a memorial service for our dear colleague, Charlotte Smith, who recently passed away. We appreciate your understanding and support during this difficult time. Our staff is deeply saddened by this loss, and we believe it is important to honor and remember our colleague in a meaningful way. By temporarily closing the library, we can gather together to pay our respects, offer support to one another, and celebrate the life of our team member.

We understand the inconvenience this may cause, and we apologize for any disruption to your usual library routine. Our online catalog and digital resources will remain accessible throughout the closure.

The library will reopen on Sunday, May 21 with regular hours of operation from 1:00 - 5:00PM. 
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
