<p>This month&#8217;s library is special. Because it is MY neighborhood library! This is the Madison (WI) Public Library, Central branch. I walk to it several times per month.</p>

It lights up, and can be seen from far away, especially at night. I love that question mark. If you have a question, go to your public library for answers. Walk or drive or bike there (see the bike racks?) to visit in person. Or call, or email, or go online to visit virtually.</p>
<p>I took these photos on Election Day. As you can see, the library is also a polling place. For more about &#8220;my&#8221; library, take a <a href="http://www.wpr.org/tour-amazingly-artful-madison-public-library" target="_blank">tour</a>!</p>
