Madison in the 70s with local author Stu Levitan will be the focus of the next District 11 Book Club meeting on Dec. 11 at 7:00 pm at the Sequoya Library

Madison in the 1970s

For our next District 11 Book Club on December 11th, Stu Levitan will give an illustrated talk on Madison in the 1970s, adapted from his forthcoming book, Madison: The Illustrated Sesquicentennial History, Volume 2, 1932 to 1979. 

Stu Levitan has been a mainstay of Madison media and government since 1975. An award-winning print and broadcast journalist, he has written extensively for local and national programs on radio and television.  A former county supervisor, he is the only person in Madison history to chair all three of the city's primary land use and housing committees. Since 1987, he has also been a labor mediator/arbitrator for the State of Wisconsin.

Following the talk, there will be time for questions and answers with the author.
