An Iowa City Public Library card is your child’s ticket to ride an Iowa
City Transit bus free this summer.
The Library will provide free bus rides to children through 12th grade, and
the adult caregivers who are with them, on any Iowa City Transit bus route
traveling to the downtown interchange, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. every weekday
beginning Thursday, May 31. Eligible bus riders should show their Iowa City
Public Library card to the bus driver to gain free access to the bus. Children
can catch a ride home anytime the same day with a Ride & Read bus pass,
which is issued by showing a Library Card at any public service desk at the
Library.
Parents, if your child doesn’t have an Iowa City Public Library card, visit
www.icpl.org/cards to
pre-register. Complete your application online, then stop by the Help Desk or
the ICPL Bookmobile within two weeks to pick up your card. You can also apply
for the Library Card in person at the Help Desk any time the Library is open or
on the Bookmobile. For the latest Bookmobile schedule, visiticpl.org/services/bookmobile.
Adults will need to show photo identification (current driver’s license or
passport) and proof of resident address (current driver’s license, mail with a
current post mark, current lease) in order to obtain a Library Card. Photo
identification is not required for children under age 14.
The summer bus program ends the week day before the first day of school.
For more information, please call the Library at 319-356-5200.
