Peosta Here We Come

Dubuque County Library is moving materials to the new NICC library wing next week.  All of our locations will be closed on Thursday, September 8th, in order for us to load up the carts and the moving van will be trucking everything over to Peosta on Friday. 

The official opening day for the NICC/Peosta branch is Tuesday, September 13th.  A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 4:30 p.m.  To celebrate this new community resource, we will be offering two family story times that day:  one at 3:30 and one at 4:30 in the library story space. 

Everyone is invited to join in the festivities with tours of the new wing beginning at 3:00 until 4:15 and refreshments following the ribbon-cutting from 5:00 to 6:00.  Please come and join us as we begin a new chapter in Dubuque County Library history.

This is a partnership that was a long time in the making and now the community of Peosta will have a beautiful library to enjoy.  NICC has been extremely generous in providing a space that is inviting to both community members and students.  Library customers will be able to use the facility all the hours they are open which are 7 am to 8 pm Monday through Thursday, 7 am to 6  pm on Friday and 9 am to 1 pm on Saturday.  The library is closed on Sunday.  In addition to current NICC staff, the city of Peosta is funding an additional staff member to enhance service to the public.  Her name is Danielle Lensen.  She will be working evenings and Saturdays. 

In addition to books, there are magazines, DVDs, and audiobooks to choose from.  The collection will be small to start with, but we will be adding new materials.  We are also providing two public computer stations for community customers.  These stations will have Internet access and MicroSoft office programs. 

The fall 8-week story time series kicks off next week.
