Library Closed March 31

Both locations of the Cedar Rapids Public Library will be closed on Sunday, March 31. 

Book Club Kits

In your own book club? Book Club Kits are available to borrow for any group.

Each Book Club Kit has multiple copies of the same book in a tote. The tote gets checked out to one person, who is responsible for returning all materials when your club is finished. The kits have a five-week circulation period.

Search for them in our catalog or find them on the second story of the Downtown Library.

Library Book Clubs

The library currently supports three book clubs. They are open to the public and newcomers are always welcome. Find dates and book details each month on our events calendar

When a title is selected for a library book club, it will be ready for pick-up the month before it is discussed, or digital copies will be available. Physical copies may be picked up in person or by hold at any Metro Library Network location.
