Books & Authors is an online resource designed to help public library patrons discover today’s popular fiction and non-fiction titles as well as the classics of yesterday. It also helps them answer the age-old question of “What do I read next?

Credo is an easy-to-tool for research, homework, and other reference needs. Gather background information on your topic from over 1000 full-text encyclopedias and subject handbooks, as well as 500,000+ images and audio files and over 1000 videos.

 The Library is open for curbside service and for Grab n' Go service.  Please call 641-484-4484 to set up a time to stop by.  Our computers are still not working, but we can make copies and send faxes.  If you find yourself in the mood to just stop by, you can ring the bell to the right of the door.  You can also email tamalibrary@tama.lib.ia.us or reserve a book through our online card catalog from this webpage. Just click on the picture of the books.  We still offer e-books and e-audios through Bridges, also accessible through this webpage. If you need to know your card number just give us a call. We are currently checking out books, movies, audio books and magazines. 

Our current temporary hours are: M & W: 12-5 T & Th: 12-6 Fri: 9-3.

We are hoping to have the computers and the Wifi working by Sept 8th when school starts and depending on the Covid numbers, we may be going back to our regular library hours: M & W: 12-5 T & Th: 12-8 Fri: 9-5. 

Stay safe-hope to hear from you soon!
