Loss of Cedar Rapids library collections after flood
Cedar Rapids Public Library faces likely loss of its adult collection after floodwaters damaged the building at 500 First St. SE. Mold is spreading on shelves as restoration crews work without power while the children's collection and other media may survive. Nearby Westdale Mall branch remains open and renovations and a library levy are put on hold pending aid and downtown plans.
