“I want to thank you for all the help you
gave my granddaughter Kiersten.
Kierstenlives in Cedar Rapids and
spends time here with her Grandma
and Grandpa Schmitt. The Dubuque
library is her favorite place. She is so
excited about the reading program, it
was hard to get her away from her
stack of books! We have a wonderful
library here and a wonderful staff! Love
the smiles.”
