The Friends of the Monona Public Library is looking for three community-minded neighbors to join our Board of Directors.

About Friends

Since 1981, we’ve worked to fund the programs and equipment that make our library a local treasure. Last year, the Friends provided $41,000 to support the Library. Whether it is funding children’s performers for early literacy events, improving the library space, or paying for the aquarium and services like Kanopy, Friends supports library patrons at all ages and stages.
