“Bright Future: Celebrating the Iowa City Public Library” is a special after-hours fundraising party dedicated to fostering appreciation and growth of our beloved library.
Guests will begin the evening immersed in the Library itself, as the doors open for an unforgettable night. With food and drink stations throughout the space, pop-up performances, live music, readings, and more, guests will explore the Library as they’ve never seen it before—celebrating and supporting this incredible community resource. Together, we’re building a Bright Future for our Library!
