This is absolutely the best library in the country. The staff is always kind, helpful, and friendly. The selection of books is fantastic, and if you want something they don't have on hand, just ask! The children's area is well thought out, and the ability to check out puzzles, games, etc is wonderful. I lived a block away from the library, and visited often. Now that I've moved, it's one of the places I miss the most in Iowa City.
