Madison Library to host second annual “Adulting” series…
"Adulting" is any task or activity that holds a feeling of weighty responsibility or drudgery, any task that someone who has their life all together might find easy.
The library has an ever-expanding role as the purveyor of information – not just for research projects, but for hobbies, STEM careers, and entertainment - why not also provide information for young adults who want to be successful in life outside of school?
Last summer we hosted a series of educational programs at the library geared toward new and young adults that focused on the drudgery of adulthood, like laundry, social media, home maintenance, and personal finance.
Chicken Storytime with Zaxby's
Last Tuesday (June 04, 2019), a special guest joined us for toddler storytime at the Downtown Huntsville Library! Meet Big Z, Zaxby's giant but gentle chicken mascot:
Big Z has been known to stop by storytimes on occasion. He loves interacting with the kids - especially if he can show off his Chicken Dance - and he always fills his wings with generous gifts!
