Iowa City Public Library Building, 1981
Iowa City Public Library (Iowa City, Iowa)
The ICPL at 123 South Linn Street began construction in October 1979 and opened its doors to the public on June 14, 1981 after hundreds of volunteers moved all of the library materials across the street. Crowded conditions in the Carnegie Library location were a major factor in the construction of the new location. Around this time, major technological changes were being introduced to ICPL. The card catalog was eventually closed and a new computer-assisted circulation system was put into place.

The second location for the ICPL was at 212 East College Street in the Cannon & Pratt building opening in June of 1901. Today most of this site is occupied by the present public library building. While rent at this new location was an additional $125 per year, additional space, improved lighting, and more desirable library quarters were among the reasons for the move.
