What is PlayLab?
Explore how you think about play!
Madison Public Library’s PlayLab provides welcoming spaces, engaging experiences and collaborative partnerships where children, families and their communities learn, share, create and grow together.
Our focus is on supporting a few key ingredients for early literacy and child development:
- Time and space for children to play freely
- Loving, responsive relationships between children and caregivers
- Caregivers who have confidence, knowledge and skills to support their child’s development
- A community of adults who support each other to ensure that all children thrive
