Title

Musser Public Library

Description

The policies adopted by the Board of Trustees are available to the public for review. The board reviews every policy at least once each year.

The Library is a department of the City of Muscatine. A total of nine trustees set library policy: eight appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council, and one resident of the county (non-City of Muscatine resident) appointed by the Mayor and approved by the County Board of Supervisors.

Early in the life of the community of Muscatine, leaders expressed an interest in starting a library. Sometime in the late 1860's or early 1870's a library of 500 plus volumes was established in the office of the county recorder. This was a public library and all books were probably donated. There is no record of how it originated, how it was supported or what happened to it.
