The Community Writing Centers are back!

Posted by Beth on Friday, Aug 19, 2022

The Community Writing Centers - a long running program of the Libraries of Iowa City and Coralville and Kirkwood Community College that provides writing assistance to the public ceased operations in 2020 due to COVID-19.  We are happy to announce that they will return to both Iowa City and Coralville Public Libraries the end of this month. 

The Community Writing Centers provide one-on-one writing assistance for teens and adults from Kirkwood Community College writing faculty at both the Iowa City and Coralville Public Libraries. They will be at Coralville Public Library on Tuesdays from 4-6pm and at Iowa City Public Library on Thursdays from 6-8pm.  

You can get assistance with all types of writing:  letters, emails, resumes, applications, reports, essays, legal documents, letters to the editor, school projects or creative writing - all writing is welcome.  Walk-in 20-minute sessions are first come, first served, and are free and open to the public.

  • IQ

    by Joe Ide

    FICTION Ide Joe
    Fiction, Mystery

    "A resident of one of LA's toughest neighborhoods uses his blistering intellect to solve the crimes the LAPD ignores. East Long Beach. The LAPD is barely keeping up with the neighborhood's high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood has taken it upon himself to help solve the cases the police can't or won't touch. They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence. He charges his clients whatever they can afford, which might be a set of tires or a homemade casserole. To get by, he's forced to take on clients that can pay. This time, it's a rap mogul whose life is in danger. As Isaiah investigates, he encounters a vengeful ex-wife, a crew of notorious cutthroats, a monstrous attack dog, and a hit man who even other hit men say is a lunatic. The deeper Isaiah digs, the more far reaching and dangerous the case becomes"--

    This first book in what I hope is a very long series of crime/detective fiction by author Joe Ide. I started with the print copy and was grabbed quickly by the story. However there is a lot of East LA dialect in this book that slowed me down, so I checked out a copy of the e-aduio and I'm so glad I did. Actor Sullivan Jones brought the characters to life in ways my imagination couldn't. After listening to a few chapters the characters are firmly in my brain and I hear their voices when I read the text. Isaiah Quintabe (IQ) is my new favorite private investigator. He sees things other people miss. Things that aren't where they're supposed to be, or shouldn't be where they are, or things that just don't make sense. Author Joe Ide masterfully weaves together two stories - Isaiah's own rough teenage years and the current case he's been hired to solve - to introduce us to a great new character in detective fiction. The second book in the series is "Righteous" and the third "Wrecked" is due out in October 2018. -Beth
