We're a top-ranked library!

We once again landed in the Top 10!

According to the most recently published Hennen’s American Public Library Ratings, we are #9 in our population category (5,000 - 10,000 people in our service area) out of 1,445 public libraries our size in the United States!

Congratulations to our wonderful staff & everyone in the community for making the Grandview Library such a fantastic place!
