Library

Jewell's public library, the Montgomery Memorial Library, is fully accredited by the State of Iowa and strives to provide materials, services and programs for all age groups in the Jewell community. 

Our Mission:

The mission of the Montgomery Memorial Library is to promote enlightened citizenship, enrich personal lives and meet informational, cultural, recreational and educational needs of the community by providing, promoting and supporting a wide variety of materials, services and programs for the community's use. 

The library is much more than a place to check out books.  We have programs and services for everyone in our community.  Nice, eager, friendly and highly-trained librarians are standing by, waiting to help you find the information you are looking for.

History:

The library first opened its doors in 1945 when E.W. Montgomery, a local resident, left a portion of his estate to "establish a modern free public library" in Jewell.  It has been serving the residents of Jewell and Hamiltion County ever since.
