In April, the libraries of the Washington County Library Association (Kalona, Washington & Wellman)  reduced the number of cards Washington County residents have to carry in their wallets and have broadened access to library materials for county library users. Many library users in Washington County carry cards for Kalona, Washington, and Wellman, and while they can still do so if they prefer, those wanting to simplify can now use their “home” library card in all three libraries. The “home” library for citizens of Kalona, Washington, and Wellman would be their city library; rural Washington County residents should generally choose the library that matches their city address. Any questions can be directed to library staff at any of the libraries.
