Independence Public Library has been selected as the 2012 Best Small Library In America! Through the hard work of the library director Julie Hildebrand, staff, volunteers, Friends of the Library, and board members, as well as, the support and partnerships created with local businesses and legislators we were able to be one heck of a library! Seen above is the cover of Library Journal Magazine where Independence Public Library stands in the spotlight on the cover of the magazine. That's not all though. We also are mentioned in the Editorial by the Editor-in-chief, and displayed in a whopping 4 page article that discusses the difficult (but well worth it) journey to success in serving our community.

Let's hear it for the Independence Public Library, as well as our community! Way to go!
