The WBPL began a community calendar in 2022 to help provide event information as well as connect community groups/businesses and interested community members. Through 2022-2024, the library will be working to improve connection between local groups/businesses and our community members as a part of the 2021 Strategic Plan.

The calendar is online at westbranchiowa.events.
