It Takes A Village After-School Enrichment sessions at Goodman South Madison Library are created in an effort to promote community, and to provide a safe place for youth patrons between 12 and 18 years old to spend time after school. Programs exploring different art, making, and enrichment activities are offered at Goodman South Madison Library throughout the fall from 4-6pm.
