Live Well @ Your Library Celebration
MADISON, WI -- The final event in the Live Well @ Your Library series will be an outdoor festival at Central Library on Sunday, September 19, with the theme Celebration. The block of Mifflin Street outside of Central Library will be blocked off from 1-4:30 p.m. to create a space for movement workshops, art and making activities for adults and kids, vendor tables and a culminating community conversation on wellness.
"This program supports community members who may not feel included in traditional wellness spaces in living well by sharing mental and physical health resources, elevating BIPOC wellness practitioners, and facilitating community conversations for a clearer path toward a healthier Madison," said Kristina Gómez, a Community Engagement Librarian at Central Library. "This event is a celebration of our community's wellness journey and honors their experiences. We're thankful for our partners and collaborators who have made this series a success."
At 2 p.m. team members from Forward Madison FC will lead a gentle workout through team-building games and talk about the connection between mental health, physical health and community health in a session called Kickstart Wellness. Madison Public Library and Forward Madison FC have worked together this summer to engage the community around literacy and encourage reading, and the partnership continues to grow.
"We are excited to have been invited by Madison Public Library to participate in the Live Well @ Your Library series. There is a strong connection between mental health, physical health and community health and we are excited to help encourage the Madison community in continuing to take steps to care for themselves holistically," said Connor Tobin, Community Engagement Manager and player at Forward Madison FC.
Live Well @ Your Library is multicultural, multigenerational and multisensory, with both passive and active opportunities for attendees, including:
Events Schedule:
Participants can drop in between 1-4:30 p.m. or stay for the duration of the event. Masks are strongly encouraged at all outdoor library events for those age 2 and up. Masks are required if entering the Central Library.
