Kind words from our community

“The Wellman Scofield Public Library is a treasure to our family. When we moved to Iowa a few years ago, connecting with the library was one of the best decisions we made. We have found community here. Our children anticipate each visit with delight.”

- H. D.

“We especially love the summer reading program. My kids, who range in ages 4-12 years old, have held butterflies, met Wellman firefighters, drummed African drums, dug up a real fossil, flown a kite, made lasting friendships, and have been rewarded for a growing love of reading.”

- W. C.

“Moving to Wellman less than a year ago (from a town without a library) I have come to depend on the library. I am a senior citizen without transportation. An avid reader, I maintain my the love of learning. The staff and patrons of the library have welcomed me into the community.”
