WHAT'S HAPPENING AT MONONA PUBLIC LIBRARY
On Tuesday, November 8 (yes, Election Day!), the Friends of the Monona Public Library will be hosting a fundraiser at the Culver's on Cottage Grove Road (4401 Cottage Grove Rd.). A percentage of all sales between 5:00 and 8:00 pm that evening will be donated to the Friends and ultimately used for adult, teen, and children's library programs. No codes or coupons will be needed. Just head to Culver's during that time period and place your order. Go vote and then grab dinner at Culver's! Support the library! Thank you!
We are joining in paying tribute to the rich ancestry and traditions of Native Americans with displays in the library to honor and recognize the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the United States. Stop in and see!
ADULTS
First Saturday of Each Month

Tech Tutoring with Dan is back!! Got a gadget that has you down? Have a tech challenge you need help with? Sign up for a 45-minute session with Dan, the amazing tech guru! This program is offered on the first Saturday of each month. If unable to attend a scheduled session, call 24 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule.

This session does NOT replace professional technical support. Dan is unable to assist with complex topics such as hacked systems, publishing e-books, etc.. Dan may offer advice on these types of topics but will not be able to directly assist.

If there are no sessions available and you would like to be added to the waitlist please email [email protected] or call 608-222-6127.

This program focuses on thought-provoking and enjoyable reads in a variety of genres, including both fiction and non-fiction. This is a casual, drop-in group, so please join us when you can! Regular print, large print, and book on CD copies will be available at the library one month before the book discussion.
