Are you interested in starting a book club? You could hold it at the library in our beautiful Vision Iowa Room. What about teaching a skill or craft to someone or a group? You could also hold this at the library. The library has two meeting rooms that are open to the public. These rooms can be used by civic, cultural, educational and service groups and individuals looking for a space to hold a class, do a presentation or hold a meeting. The rooms are available at no charge, but donations are always accepted and appreciated. Contact the library staff for more information to schedule a room. 641-484-3362
