The Madison Public Library is dedicated to serving all teens in Madison with access to the diverse collections, meeting spaces, internet & computers, programming and online resources in all 9 library locations (+ the Dream Bus).
The library connects to teenagers outside of the library buildings by following an equitable approach and largely focuses on resourcing the requests from community partner organizations that work directly with at-risk teens or within the juvenile court system through the Bubbler's Making Justice program.

For over 20 years teens in Madison have been reading and voting and telling us what's good. The Teen's Choice Awards is a great way to learn about new books and authors and let Madison know what you think. You can cast one vote per day, and you don't have to vote for the same book each time.
