MADISON, Wis. – Those in charge of Madison Public Library say while they had hoped to return as soon as April 19th, that plan was met with concern from staff members who felt it was too soon.
“The members of the board began receiving emails and many of them, from staff, expressed concerns because they had not yet been vaccinated,” said Board President Eve Galanter. “And their position requires them that they be public facing, interacting directly with the public, they hoped we could put off the decision until more of them could get the vaccine.”

MADISON, Wis. – Despite Public Health Madison Dane County’s latest health order lifting limits and mask requirements for outdoor gatherings, some local traditions and events could still be months away.
“What we want is a smart restart, a slow reopening,” said Tiffany Kenney, Executive Director of the Madison Central Business Improvement District. “We know those organizers, when they’re ready, they can have safe events, they’ll bring them back. This order just helps them along the way making those decisions.”
Kenney says one hold up for events like the Dane County Farmers Market and outdoor concerts is a lack of permit, which it could take another two weeks to obtain.
