For families with children this library is outstanding! They have really put a lot of thought and creativity into their children’s section. There are puzzles, toys, educational games, and a small house made out of books. It’s a great place to take children, particularly on cold or rainy days.
Fantastic place for students and general public. Provides a Broad array of services, thus building a sense of community. Interact with different groups of patrons and suppliers, host/run many events, and a long etcetera
This is absolutely the best library in the country. The staff is always kind, helpful, and friendly. The selection of books is fantastic, and if you want something they don't have on hand, just ask! The children's area is well thought out, and the ability to check out puzzles, games, etc is wonderful. I lived a block away from the library, and visited often. Now that I've moved, it's one of the places I miss the most in Iowa City.
I really must say, this institution is a staple in our community and I would truly be lost without this wonderful resource. The staff are a healthy dose of weird (especially the upstairs crew) which, admit it, we all need in our lives. However...when seemingly everything hinges on complete focus and accurate information-gathering, these public servants drop everything and dutifully assist me with whatever I need help with. Also, never have I witnessed a city employee wake a sleeping patron with such grace and professionalism.
I've visited a variety of libraries across the nation--some smaller, some larger--and I feel this is one of the best in the country. An amazing comics collection, outstanding community services and top-notch circulation capabilities are merely a handful of the reasons I'm proud to support this library.
