Iowa City Public Library

Department Mission

The Iowa City Public Library is a center of community life that connects people of all ages with information, engages them with the world of ideas, and with each other, and enriches the community by supporting learning, promoting literacy, and encouraging creativity. Library values include access, belonging, collaboration, community, enjoyment, intellectual freedom, and literacy.

Department Description

The Iowa City Public Library is a vibrant and dynamic community hub, dedicated to identifying and responding to the needs of our community. The Library offers a collection of a wide variety of materials, programming for all ages, technology access (including Wi-Fi, hardware, software, and a full digital media lab), and a bookmobile. With 24/7 online access, Library collections and information are always available. The Library serves the resident of Iowa City and, through contract agreements, those in Hills, rural Johnson County, Lone Tree and University Heights. Reciprocal agreements with other public libraries across Iowa extend our services through the Open Access Program.

“ The Library is a vital community center that strives to support and encourage lifelong learning through our collections, programming, outreach, technology access and spaces .” -Anne Mangano
