Where To Read, Write, and Think in Madison
Madison is a city full of creatives and bustling with ideas. But sometimes it can be hard to find spaces that truly let words flow and bring ideas to life. To get some input on where to find Madison’s best places for reading, writing, and thinking, host Bianca Martin caught up with Diya Dwahal, a Middleton high schooler and the winner of Madison Public Library’s 2023 We Read youth writing contest. Executive producer Hayley Sperling also chimes in with her recommendations and writing process.
