Vision Statement
We are committed to an excellence in service that is responsive to the community’s need for convenient, accessible and relevant library materials and programs for all ages.
Mission Statement
We are a Center for Lifelong Learning, providing a variety of resources to meet the community’s information, education and recreation needs.
The Morrill Public Library has been a part of the community since 1882 when E. N. Morrill gave the city of Hiawatha $2,000 for a library. It opened on May 29th of that year in a room at the Morrill and Janes Bank, 6th and Oregon Streets. In April 1907, the library moved into a new Carnegie building at 5th and Oregon. With a major addition in 1993, the renovation of the Children’s Library in 2000, and the establishment of a Young Adult section in 2001, the Library has adapted to the public’s growing need for information and recreation. Today, it is a welcoming community center where you can check out a book, take a free class, watch a movie, send e-mail, attend a program, get information, or simply sit and enjoy our historic ambience. We look forward to serving you.
