KWQC is running a story that mentions our event venue having extensive damages due to a singular vehicle crash into the building.

While this happened to the building our venue is in, fortunately, our venue does not have any damages. This happened in the back part of the building where the railroad club houses the model railroad.

We are happy that no one was majorly injured, our venue is okay, and no one was in the building at the time of the crash.

We are still looking for books! If you need a good time to drop off - please DM us! Our hours are different this week with the holiday!

We have volunteered to be a “drop spot” for the Miss Illinois/Miss Iowa Youth community book drive!

We will have a box in our elevator lobby (closest entrance to the parking lot) from now until July 6th to donate new or gently used children’s & young adult books.

All books collected will be donated throughout the Iowa & Illinois community to share the love of reading to as many children as we can!

Our elevator lobby is open Monday evenings from about 4 PM until 7 PM, as well as weekends during events. If you would like to DM us to get a better look on when to drop off - that’s perfect too! We will let staff know when to expect you so we can ensure the door is unlocked.

If you have books you would like to donate - but do not have the time or means to visit L&A - please reach out - my daughter and I would be happy to come & collect them!
