Updated hours for Janesville Public Library, Iowa this summer. Please keep this in mind when you are visiting Janesville locations!

đź“– Important Update from the Janesville Public Library
Due to financial constraints in the upcoming Fiscal Year, the Library will be closed on Fridays beginning May 29.
This adjustment is part of our effort to continue providing quality library services while working within current budget limitations. We remain hopeful for future opportunities to restore and expand services.
While we are saddened to shorten our open hours, we are also excited about new opportunities ahead. We have many plans to expand our community impact through volunteer-led programming and exciting new collections that our community has been asking for.
More information on these upcoming additions will be shared soon — and we look forward to continuing to serve and grow with our community. ❤️

We still have one Gift Package to give out. You can also sign up for our raffle! We have lots of items we will give away October 1!

Congratulations Anna O and Sheri N
