Loud in the Library Update!
The Loud in the Library team thought long and hard about an in-person event this year, and in the end, decided to go virtual again! So we present to you, Loud in the Library 2022: Dine to Donate THE SEQUEL! It is not loud, nor in the library, but this is a great way to support the library and your favorite Monona (or anywhere) eatery!

The idea is just as simple as last year - except this year we are going the WHOLE WEEKEND! Yes! On our usual Loud in the Library WEEKEND, January 28, 29 and 30, your family and all of your friends can order food to be delivered by EatStreet and EatStreet will donate 15% back to the Monona Public Library Loud in the Library Fund. All Weekend Long! It’s that easy! Just use the code LOUD2022.
Not nearly the party we wanted to have, but please look forward to January 25, 2023 - Loud in the Library 2023! And make plans to order and enjoy a lovely breakfast, lunch or dinner (Or all 3!) on January 28, 29, and 30, 2022. Big thanks to our event partners, EatStreet and the Monona Public Library Foundation.
(Watch this spring for some Loud in the Library monies to be spent on sprucing up the library's lower level entrance. Going to be Colorful!!!)

This month we'll experiment with how to use overhead light and everyday objects to cast interesting shadows onto paper, then draw around the shadows to create outlines. What you do within the outlines is where the real fun begins. There’s no right or wrong way to be creative in this program, no matter your skill level or style, this program is for you!
Information about kit pickup and joining the online session will be shared with registered participants the week before the program. A list of basic supplies to gather at home will also be provided.
