Support the Library!
The Monona Public Library depends upon devoted patrons of all ages to help us serve the public. From helping us get materials on the shelves as a Volunteer, to raising funds for key Library projects as a member of the Friends of the Library, or contributing to the long-term financial health of the Library by contributing to the Library Foundation, there are numerous ways you can help make your Library an even greater place!
Volunteers
The Library depends on volunteers to help prepare new books for the shelves and to repair damaged materials. Help us get our materials ready in a timely manner! Contact Erick Plumb or Rob Klecker at 608-222-6127 if you can volunteer time on a regular basis. See the Volunteers page for much more information!

Booked for Life Campaign
The Monona Library Foundation has received a grant from the Madison Community Foundation that will provide a 1:2 match for every dollar we raise (we get $1 for every $2 we raise). The grant will provide up to $50,000 if we can raise $100,000.
The funds will be creatively used to endow books for the library's collection. A $500 donation will endow a book at the library pretty much in perpetuity - or until the end of time whichever comes first. This simple plan has the potential to give our library a foot up toward attaining and maintaining an excellent collection. Learn more!
