If you have a DVD, game, or puzzle to return, we ask that you wait until you can bring said item into the library to return. If you have any questions or concerns, please let the director know via email at oxfordlibrary@southslope.net or phone at 319-828-4087.
Weekly StoryTimes are held at the library every Wednesday @10:30am. Bring the small kiddos and enjoy fun stories and songs.
Wacky Wednesday will take a brief break and resume the first week of school on 7/28. Activities start at 1:30pm and run 1-2 hours (depending on the activity). Can’t make it for the official activity? Our LEGO bins will still be out after the activity until close at 6pm.
