Have you ever wondered what books ICPL staff have piled on their nightstands? Or what movies they watch on a cozy Saturday night?
ICPL Recommends is where Library staff share what they've been reading, watching or listening to lately. It's a great resource if you aren't sure what to check out next because we're happy to share our thoughts about items in our collection!
Children's Librarian Morgan recently shared a book list with the titles she's chosen to usher in the new season. You'll find everything from picture books to adult nonfiction on this list.
Visit Morgan's profile page for more recommendations and be sure to check out our other staff pages. You might just find your literary BFF.
Get ready to jam with the Local Music Project
Do you have tickets to this year's Mission Creek Festival? It's a jam-packed lineup this year, but if April 2 seems too far away, we suggest getting your music fix by checking out the Local Music Project!
The Local Music Project is a revolving collection of albums by eastern Iowa musicians. Users can stream or download the music for free by logging in with an Iowa City Public Library card and password.
This service is available to all residents of Johnson County.
Voting in Book Madness continues through April 14
We're midway through our annual literary competition, Book Madness @ ICPL!
Books competing in the 2019 “tournament” fall into eight categories; four for the children’s brackets and four for the teen/adult bracket. The 2019 categories are as follows:
TEENS/ADULTS: All You Need Is Love, Listen Up!, Short Reads, and Rise Up!
The brackets are posted in the Library’s Gallery on the first floor of the Library. Stop by anytime the Library is open to vote for the titles you think should advance to the next round. We update the brackets every Monday and will announce the winner on April 15.
Books that advance through the “tournament” will be posted on the Book Madness webpage, the first floor display, and updated on Facebook and Twitter.
