Good morning, Cedar Rapids.

The Busse Branch library opened Saturday at 1845 Sandberg Lane, giving residents a new space with over 50,000 books moved from the old Ladd Library.

The project received funds from the Busse family and ARPA, and a park is planned nearby.

From Sept. 29 through Oct.

31, the city is inviting schools, daycares and community groups to decorate snowplow blades using provided painting materials — the finished artwork will be used on roads near the participants so children can see their designs in action.

On Saturday, hundreds gathered at the grand opening of Cedar Rapids Public Library's Busse Branch on the west side; the modern facility doubles the size of the previous library and adds expanded children's space, meeting rooms, an auditorium, and outdoor reading areas.
