Yes, if you live in the Iowa City, University Heights, Coralville, or surrounding communities, you can apply online and get an Iowa City Public Library (ICPL) card or a Coralville Public Library card. We think you'll find they have some great things to offer you!
You can search their online catalogs to find books, e-books, audiobooks and more. They have a different set of databases than we have at the University, so you may want to check those out, too! For example, if you're looking for a user-friendly way to search the archives of the Iowa City Press-Citizen newspaper, the ICPL has current and historical databases that make that easy to do.
