Here’s a small snippet of what’s new this month at the Lamont Library! Stop in and check out our growing collection of new books.

Looking for something we don’t carry? Lamont Library is part of the Iowa Shares program, which allows us to borrow books from other libraries across the state. This program is especially valuable for smaller libraries like ours that don’t have the same budget as larger libraries.

So, if we don’t have something you’re desperate to read, don’t worry! That doesn’t mean you can’t get it through the Lamont Library. We’ll do our best to find it for you through Iowa Shares!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Lamont Public Library during Lamont Days! We loved welcoming hundreds of visitors who came in to play games and enjoy ice cream.
We're also proud to have earned 3rd Place for our parade float. Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen!
A special thank you to the Lamont Community Club for helping cover the cost of the ice cream and materials. We appreciate your support in making the day a success!
