Sponsor Bright Future

Bright Future: Celebrating the Iowa City Public Library is a special after-hours fundraising party taking place April 11, 2025 dedicated to fostering appreciation and growth of our beloved library. We begin with registration in Meeting Room A, where the grand piano will fill the room with music, and guests, with drinks in hand, can bid on packages in our silent auction! Shortly after the Library closes at 8 pm there will be a warm welcome and recognition of our sponsors. Guests will then be free to enter the main part of the Library to begin exploring the space as they’ve never seen it before. With food and drink stations scattered throughout the library, pop-up performances, live music, readings, and more, guests will mingle, enjoy, and learn more about this incredible community resource! Together, we’re building a Bright Future for our Library!  Find ticket and sponsorship information here.
