Friday Morning Book Group
The Friday Morning Book Group is online! The program focuses on thought-provoking and enjoyable reads in a variety of genres, including both fiction and non-fiction. This is a casual, drop-in group, so please join us when you can! This book discussion will take place on Zoom. Regular print, large print, and book on CD copies will be available at the library one month before the book discussion.

Tax Forms
The Monona Public Library will begin having tax forms available for the public via curbside pickup starting Monday, February 1. Forms available are listed below. Those forms that are listed without “print” next to them will be available on a cart under the overhang during the library’s curbside hours.
