This pilot program is being offered by Overdrive (the company that provides the WILBOR eBook service). There will be opportunities to join discussions with the author and other readers during the reading period.

PHPP Info Meetings

Whether you are a long time resident of the area or moved here recently, you may have something to contribute to the Poweshiek History Preservation Project. We are looking for people who have pictures or documents that tell the story of regular people who lived in the area. If you are willing to allow your items to be scanned for inclusion in an online database, they will become part of a rich online resource documenting life in this area without giving up your original item. We are also looking for people who are willing to help collect this information – possibly helping to scan items, collect oral histories or do a variety of other things to help the project.

Informational Meetings

Wednesday, May 22nd at 10am

Monday, June 3rd at 11:15am

Thursday, June 13th at 5:15pm

The library is hosting meetings to share about the project and provide answers to questions. Attendance at a meeting is NOT required to get involved. You can learn more about the project and ways to get involved by visiting the main project page here. This page provides links to tell us about possible material you have for inclusion in the project as well as a way sign up to volunteer.
