Event List

A book club where you pick what book you read every time! This month, we will be discussing the historical fiction genre. Read a historical fiction book, short story, or comic and tell us all about it!

Try some Japanese snacks, enjoy some fun crafts, and watch a few episodes of anime with us each month. This month we will be doing Character Buttons and watching Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Crash Course is a weekly introduction to the machines and equipment housed in the Makerspace and will include basic operations, materials selection, and even resources to start your very own project. 

Peaceful Play is designed with shy or neurodivergent children in mind, though all are welcome.

We love learning different types of literacy through reading, music, movement, and play. It may get messy; please dress appropriately! Meant for ages 0-5. 

Welcome to the Madison County Public Library's Makerspace crash course. Every week we will do an introduction to the various machine and equipment housed in the Makerspace.

Learn about Colonial Era mapmaking by creating your own continent with rice, tracing your shape, and filling in all the details. 

We provide the building blocks, and you bring the creativity!

Presented in partnership with Madison County Adult Education. 

Our friends from the Madison County FRYSC will be offering a monthly activity for little ones and their caregivers. 

Makers Space open Lab is a time for using the equipment and space in the Maker's Lab to start, work on, or complete projects. Don't have any projects to work on?

Books Cook is a hands-on story time where reading meets cooking! Each week, we’ll read a fun book and then make a simple, themed dish together. Kids help with safe prep steps while we handle the heat.

Play board games, swap book recommendations, and explore creative projects with other teens while building real-world skills. Unplugged is your space to meet new friends, be yourself, and build confidence.

Drop off your teddy bear (or other stuffed animal) for the annual Teddy Bear Sleepover at the library! Our staff will sign in your teddy bear and ask some questions about their bedtime routine.

Pick up your stuffed animals and join us in the Community Room for a light breakfast. Thanks to our “security” cameras, you’ll get to see pictures of all the mischievous things your stuffed animals got up to while staying at the library.

Drop off your donated materials for the FREE MARKET during this designated time. Since the Library can not store Free Market materials, this is the only time to bring your items in to donate to the market. 

Bring items you no longer need but someone else can use. Take things you find and can use. We never know just what will show up. 

Join us for the Pick of the Month Book Club as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday through stories set in different eras of U.S. history!
