The Downtown Library and Bookmobile will be closed Monday, May 26, 2025 for Memorial Day.

Great Time to Visit the Library and Downtown Iowa City


After you've sated yourself on food and football this weekend and you're looking for a nice place to walk around,  get a little exercise, show your guests some interesting things, and get the kids out from in front of a screen come on downtown.  The Library is closed Thursday, but open from 10-6 both Friday and Saturday, and 12-5 on Sunday.  We have a story time at 10:30 on Saturday, and celebrate C.S. Lewis' birthday with a variety of crafts on Sunday from 2-4.  Pick up some books to read, DVDs to watch (I haven't yet indulged in the trend of binge watching TV shows, but we have a wide selection!), or toys for the kids.  Guests to Iowa City often enjoy a visit to the Library. Best of all, many people are out of town, so parking is easy -- something we can't say every day.  The Iowa City Downtown District has a full calendar of events to participate in while you start your holiday shopping including hunting elves, visiting Santa and riding in a horse drawn carriage.

Enjoy!
