📖 About Moravia Public Library

The Moravia Public Library is the public library of Moravia, Iowa, a small town in Appanoose County near Rathbun Lake. Established in 1941, it grew through community effort: a community-building addition came in 1980, a volunteer-driven renovation in 1984, and a 2001 expansion brought it to roughly 2,200 square feet, now sitting in the middle of the city park with a wheelchair ramp and automatic doors. For a library its size it packs in a lot — books, eBooks and audiobooks, movies, puzzles, board games, iPads, computers and Chromebooks — plus practical services like notary, faxing, copying and even cassette-to-USB and VHS-to-DVD media conversion. Through the State Library of Iowa and its shared services, a Moravia card also reaches statewide digital collections and interlibrary loan.
