Upcoming Events

Visit the Library to see a selection of quilts created by Iowan Ben Millet on the theme of "Pride in Progress."

Stop by the Library during the Halloween Trick-or-Treat event in Downtown Ames for a treat and a free book for young children (while supplies last) provided by Altrusa of Ames. 

Come to Ames Public Library for a book release and panel discussion featuring We Can Do Better: Collected Writings on Land, Conservation, and Public Policy.

Hey teens, come to the Library's Teen Silent Book Club to unwind, read, and connect with others. We will enjoy good books and good—but quiet—company as we munch on some snacks. 

The Skills for Disagreeing Better workshop helps participants understand the values and concerns of those who differ from them politically. 

No school today? No problem! 

Children in grades K-5 are invited to the Library's no-school day events to create, experiment, and play with a variety of activities.

Join us for a free performance by Sarah McQuaid, a singer-songwriter in a tradition that spans cultures and genres with peerless musicianship.
