Thanks to the generosity of patrons and staff, the library collected 780 pairs of socks for the Salvation Army Men's Shelter during October's "Socktober" drive. The community's support not only provided warmth to hundreds but also showcased the significant impact we can make when united for a common cause.

Pictured above: Major Shannon Thies of the Salvation Army of Waterloo & Cedar Falls and the library's assistant director, Jillian Rutledge, proudly showcase the donated socks received during the month-long sock drive.
