Still want to bedazzle a book but couldn’t make it last week? We have supplies leftover! Bring your book in anytime the library is open and ask the front desk for the bedazzling supplies. Find a spot in the library and bedazzle away!

A celebration of past, present, and future! Thank you to everyone who came to the 1976 time capsule ceremony. We were so happy to partner with the West Sioux Elementary and Mayor Larry Gregg on this project.

A big thank you to the City of Hawarden for our quick location change due to rain and to Sunshine Foods for donating popsicles for the elementary students!
