Wonderful place to visit. Books, magazines. DVD's. Has rental items. Terrific children's area. A variety of books and activities.

I stopped at the library over my lunch hour today. I was promptly assisted at the counter by a very kind knowledgeable employee. I had a few questions about the passes they offer at the zoo in Des Moines. She was very willing to answer my questions and even took extra time to log into the library web site on the computer and show me the exact process in reserving the tickets. Top notch customer service. We are very fortunate to have such wonderful staff at the Library!!!

A truly amazing resource for a relatively small town.

This library is absolutely fantastic! It serves as a second home to most. The staff here always greets you with a warm welcome and a smile. This library defines the meaning of homey, friendly, and amazing. :)

Nicely funded library for a town this size. Plenty of space to study, read, and use media. Also lots of cool things you can check out including ice skates and bikes!

I use the internet at the library. Does cut out some but is better than nothing that I have. They shortened the hours from what I had written down which stinks if work or go to school. Overall good library.
