Join us to READ and Play together. When children engage with books, songs, and play, they develop communication skills, patience, empathy, and pre-reading skills which helps to build a lifelong love of reading. 

This program is geared toward children under age 5. All older and younger siblings as well as childcare groups are welcome to join.

Library programs are always free.

Join us in a fun and relaxing atmosphere as we share award-winning children's literature that celebrates the diversity of art, culture, food, and language across the African continent. 

In this partnership program with UW-Madisn's African Studies Department, participants will engage in hands-on creative activities and will have the opportunity to sample different African cuisines. 

This program is free and designed for children ages 5-10 and their caregivers. All are welcome!
