With many library buildings closed to the public, including Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Marion and Hiawatha, they still have a plethora of online resources available. All you need is your library card to access these services. Libraries that are closed have extended due dates on checked out materials for the time being. Some libraries are still offering curbside hold pickup. Don’t see your library here? Check their websites for resources.
