Just a reminder that we are in a Heat Advisory this week. Our library is listed as a cooling center and DART will provide free rides to cooling centers in Polk County during head advisories.
In addition, RAGBRAI will be coming through Ankeny, Des Moines, and Altoona on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. While Johnston is not on the route, we do expect an influx of bike riders in the area. They may be using the library to cool. We do not allow bikes in the library generally.
I have blocked off the Large Meeting Room Wednesday afternoon until 5:30 pm (we have a meeting at 6 pm) and Thursday morning until 12 pm. We will want them to keep their bikes outside or in the Large Meeting Room. We cannot have people walking their bikes through the main area of the library.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
