What Do We Do?

We promote the welfare of the citizens of Stuart, Iowa by enhancing the Library’s facilities, resources,
and services in order to better meet the needs of the community; attract bequests and gifts of books,
money, materials, or equipment which are beyond the resources of the Library; to develop a program of
planned giving to the Library; and to encourage volunteer support for the Library’s purposes and
activities.
