We have moved!! Today we moved materials from Epworth storage into the new NICC library at Peosta. We will be open for business on Tuesday (September 13th). September 13th is also the NICC ribbon-cutting and open house for the newly remodelled wing. In addition to the library, the wing has meeting rooms, an Internet cafe, a coffee shop, and health sciences classrooms. Tours begin at 3:00. The program is at 4:30 with a reception following. Come by for a tour. You will be amazed at the new space. Special story times are scheduled for 3:30 and 4:30 that afternoon at the new library.
Remember, we are adding the Peosta branch. No Dubuque County branches are closing. The Asbury, Epworth, Farley, and Holy Cross branches are alive and well. Thank you for your patience this week when we had to close on Thursday to get ready for the move. We are open tomorrow as usual and ready to serve.
Hannibal Smith of A-Team fame had a great catchphrase, "I love it when a plan comes together." (I just saw the new verion of the movie last weekend.) That's what I want to say about our move to Peosta. With a wonderful staff and group of dedicated volunteers, our plan for the move came together. With help from NICC library staff as well, we moved in our materials and put them on the shelves in record time.
Dubuque County residents should be pleased when they visit the new branch. It is a beautiful space, with a lively collection of materials, and great hours. You can visit from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday and from 9:00 to 1:00 on Saturday (beginning September 24th). You can check out books on cd, DVDs, magazines, adult popular fiction and nonfiction, plus children's books ranging from board books to young adult novels (including manga and graphic novels.) We hope there is something for everyone plus you have access to the NICC library collection which is particularly strong in medicine and agriculture.
The fall series of story times is underway. Check our website for times and locations.
Dubuque County Library wants to be your community resource. Please stop by and get your library card. If we don't have what you are looking for, we will get it for you either by borrowing the item from another library or purchasing your request for our collection. We aim to please.
Have a nice weekend. Dawn
