MADISON — Each day, thousands of students wend their way through Library Mall, the lively hub of Madison’s University of Wisconsin campus.
They sample international cuisine from the many colorful food carts, hit the stacks at Memorial Library, take in the view of Lake Mendota at the Memorial Union Terrace, and settle in with a bag lunch to enjoy an open-air music performance or watch jugglers practicing their routine.
