Monroe Street Branch Library Re-opening Celebration Part of Monroe Street Festival

Join Mayor Cieslewicz and other city officials at noon on Sunday, September 27, at the official re-opening of the Monroe Street Branch Library. The library will be open special Sunday hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for an open house and a book sale as part of the Monroe Street Festival. The remodel includes a fresh look for the popular neighborhood library, including new carpet and paint, a new ceiling, energy-efficient lighting, and new locally-purchased furniture and shelving. A revised floor plan features "open holds" shelving and a reconfigured and relocated service desk. The newly remodeled library also offers two additional computers for public use. The branch was closed for three weeks during the remodeling project. The remodel was funded by the Madison Public Library/City of Madison, the Monroe Street Library League with the Madison Public Library Foundation, neighborhood associations and individual donors. The book sale, hosted by the Monroe Street Library League, features hundreds of books for adults and children at bargain prices. The Monroe Street Festival is an annual fall celebration showcasing the businesses on Monroe Street, including bargains from many merchants and activities for the whole family.
