Ex Libris XII

Madison Public Library Foundation’s Ex Libris fall fundraiser is back and tastier than ever! Our local restaurants, breweries and other vendors are gathering up the ingredients for authentic new recipes that will result in a diverse array of food and beverage samples for you and other guests to enjoy at our 12th annual event. We’ll have live music, plus an online silent auction featuring a variety of items and experience packages donated by area businesses and individuals.
All event proceeds will help Madison Public Library deliver vital materials, programs and services that help build literacy, inspire lifelong learning and encourage community engagement.

PINK OUT Pizza Night: Benefitting Women’s Medical Fund

The Dane County Food Collective (DCFC) and the Culinary Ladies Collective (CLC) believe that reproductive rights are human rights, and that the Supreme Court’s ruling to strike down Roe vs Wade does not reflect the majority opinion of the country, community and our industry. They both have rallied area businesses to join in Pink Out Week, July 16 – 24, 2022. This campaign welcomes businesses of all kinds to participate in any way they can to raise emergency funds for organizations they believe in, whether they are working for legislative change or are working directly to ensure access to safe and affordable abortion care.
During our weekly Pizza Night, for Pink Out Week, Giant Jones & ORIGIN Breads will be donating 20% of all pizza & beer sales to the Women’s Medical Fund Wisconsin. WMF is one of the oldest abortion funds in the nation. Since 1972, WMF Wisconsin has supported Wisconsin residents in paying for abortion care. A volunteer-led, 501©(3) nonprofit organization, WMF Wisconsin also educates and organizes for abortion access.
Tasting room is open 5pm-8pm!
