The Downtown Cedar Rapids Public Library doesn’t yet have an estimate of how long it will take to reopen after a small fire closed the building on Wednesday.
The library will continue to send its Mobile Technology Lab out to Cedar Rapids parks for various events, but some library programming has been canceled, according to Facebook posts from the library.
A regularly updated calendar of events is available on the library’s website.

The library is working with the city of Cedar Rapids to identify and share information about alternative cooling stations to escape the hot weather, according to a news release from the library.
More updates will be available next week, the release states.
