📖 About Morningside Branch Library
<p>Morningside Branch Library sits at the heart of Sioux City's Morningside neighborhood — a residential district southeast of downtown that takes its name from its high, sunny position along the Floyd River bluffs. The branch serves a mix of families, students, and long-time neighborhood residents who rely on it for books, audiobooks, DVDs, public computers, and free Wi-Fi. With Saturday hours that the downtown Aalfs Library only maintains seasonally, Morningside is especially important for patrons who cannot visit during the workweek. The branch is a department of the City of Sioux City and shares its card, catalog, and digital services — including Iowa's statewide Bridges/Libby consortium and Kanopy streaming — with the Aalfs Downtown Library and Perry Creek Branch.</p>
