Welcome to Your Library !
We invite you to spend a few moments looking at our new library Web site. With help from the State Library of Iowa and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation we are able to create a place on the Web where you, our customers, can explore, learn and get help with all your information needs.
Library Open for Business
The Blakesburg Public Library is now open to the public following the COVID-19 closure. Patrons will be required to use hand sanitizer when entering the library, and to wear a mask while in the library. Computer use will be limited to 1 hour, and to accommodate social distancing only 1/2 of the computers will be available at any given time so we can maintain an empty seat between patrons. We are also asking that we limit guests to 1 person per study table and 1 person in the lounge seating area at any given time.
All services including circulation, printing, photocopying, reference/research assistance, interlibrary loan, etc., are available. Hours are 3:00 - 7:30 p.m. Monday; 5:30 - 9:00 p.m. Tuesday; 5:30 - 9:00 p.m. Wednesday; 3:00 - 7:30 p.m. Thursday; and 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Saturday. We are happy to be able to serve our patrons again. Welcome back !
