Reading has always been a dominant focus in my household.
Growing up, my mom instilled in my brothers and myself the
importance of reading. As we were not a wealthy family, the library
played a huge role in our lives, providing us a weekly pile of books
to fill our imaginations, and during summer months, programs
to attend we otherwise could not have afforded. Continuing into
adulthood, the library continues to play an important role in my
life for book, DVD, and game sign outs. Always a welcoming place

We partnered with the Uptown BIA to host the Uptown
Waterloo Night Market on Thursday evenings from July to

Over 5,400 visitors stopped by to enjoy local treats,
discover musicians and performers and participate in
library programs.
