The North Side Library will be closing at noon today (Tuesday, July 29) due to A/C issues. We apologize for any inconvenience.

All locations of the Des Moines Public Library are serving as cooling centers on July 28-29. DART will provide free rides for the public to access cooling centers in Polk County. Riders should tell bus drivers when they board that they want to go to the cooling center. The driver will then transport riders to the nearest one. 

Please note - The A/C system at the North Side Library is currently not operating. The North Side Library will close at noon on July 28-29 and should not be considered a cooling center at this time.
