Hello from the Ida Grove Library!
Happy almost September! Welcome fall, although the last few days haven’t been very fall-like. And welcome to the start of a brand new school year! We hope you’re loving these first few days of back to school and soaking in the excitement that fall and fresh starts always bring. Now’s the perfect time to build great habits and set inspiring goals for an amazing year!
We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming library program schedule, packed with fun and engaging learning activities for families and children. At your library, you’ll find a treasure trove of reading materials for kids of all ages, along with preschool story times, after-school special guests, STEM programs, movie days, and so much more! Libraries are incredible places for children to learn, explore, and grow.
Fun Fact: Did you know that our library has over 5,000 books just for children? That’s a lot of adventures waiting to be discovered!
Keep scrolling to check out our fall program schedule. PS…you can also find all of our programs listed on the events calendar on both the city website and the library website, www.idagrove.lib.ia.us
Remember, all our programs are free and open to every child in our community. We can’t wait to see you!
Partial Trail Closure
A portion of the Pleasant Valley Trail will be closed for pipe replacement work that has begun on the western side of town. We anticipate this closure to last over the next 2 – 4 weeks. The pedestrian/bike bridge will still be accessible to cross. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to get this opened back up as soon as possible. The pink highlighted portion of the map below is where the closure of the trail will approximately be located.
