Description
After a major flood struck cedar rapids in 2008 and destroyed the main library, the cedar rapids public library not only rebounded with a new building in 2013, but took the opportunity to dialog with the community and identify areas of greatest need. The library has facilitated community and partner conversations to champion early childhood literacy, and IT recently piloted a summer learning program with the ymca to reach underserved youth. IT has also partnered on a micro loan program to assist businesses in the cedar rapids city limits, and IT works with the civil rights commission on a legacies program that allows the community to tell their story. In 2016, another flood struck the area, and the library responded by increasing hours and deploying staff to red cross shelters, community centers, and temporary housing.
