Town Hall Alert: Learn, Educate, Advocate for the Imagination Center + more!

I'm thankful for the opportunity to share how important the Imagination Center is for our district with City Cast Madison.  I hope you'll listen and encourage others to listen too.  One of the first emails I got this morning after listening to the episode was from a resident on the west side of Madison who shared that she was in favor of funding for the Imagination Center. 

Episode description: "After years of planning and community input, the future of the $18.6 million, 16,000-square-foot “Imagination Center” at Reindahl Park is in limbo. With the city facing a potential multimillion-dollar budget deficit, the project has received little attention — District 17 Ald. Sabrina Madison is trying to change that.

Host Bianca Martin spoke with Madison about why the center is so desperately needed and what this process has shown about the city’s priorities."

The proposed “Imagination Center at Reindahl Park” will not be an ordinary library. It will be a transformational space designed and directed by the northeast Madison community.

SCHEDULE A TIME FOR US TO MEET

With email usually pretty heavy, I encourage you to schedule a time for us to meet over a call, virtual, or in person meeting by adding a time to my calendar. 

Lastly, please do take a few minutes to send me a note about the Imagination Center and it's importance to you/your household.  You can catch up on the proposed library here.
