DOUBLE CHECK WITH THEM on days, hours http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ia/county/linn/gen_soc.htm (319) 369-0022 They will let you stay in there through the lunch hour as long as you are in the door by 12 noon (doors are locked for the other people in the building). I "lived" in this library for some 4+ weeks when I was going genealogy in the area in May and June 2009. The folks are nice and helpful, and there is a ton of great resources there to track down your family roots. Parking is excellent OUT BACK (paid, short term on the street out front), safe area....good hours considering it is run by volunteers. A treasure trove of fabulous stuff! Note: the hours posted on the DOOR is for the Masonic Library folks in the building.....NOT the genealogy library. They have separate hours which is why I smudged them out so you would not get confused.

But now I get better deals from Salvation Army and Goodwill (who have also started to act like they are a Macy's). This is not what a community nonprofit store should act like. And all the new stuff like appliances can be purchased at the big box stores for less. I'm really disappointed at what they have become. I bought a hanging light from them and saw the identical fixture 2 weeks later at Menards for less! This is 'NOT' my idea of a community store. I can sell my own things.

This business is one of the worst I have ever encountered!…read more We were new in the area and didn't know any better. In the past, we had taken a lawn mower for a new carborator, only to have them install it upside down. Later, we had them work on a snow blower, We didn't see it for a couple of weeks after it was delivered to the wrong address, although owner was sure he delivered to our house. It was several houses away, and finally the person living in that house called the police to report it, and we finally got it back. It's a small circle drive, shouldn't be that difficult to find our house where they picked it up!! (They delivered it to house #103 instead of "123" We didn't take any business to them for many many years until recently, we purchased a new Troy Bilt mower from a different store. A a couple of months after purchase, the mower threw a belt and we were told that Wade's was the only place that did their warranty work was Wades or a a city aproximately 50 miles away. We decided to give them another try.... Big MISTAKE! They were nasty on the phone and told us they were too busy and "their customers came first"! We called Troy Bilt, after which we received a message from Wade's they would come pick it up. After a week or so, they brought it back and left it in the driveway parked partially in front of our garage door, if it had been 15 minutes earlier, my daughtter would have backed into it when she backed out of the garage!! My husband was told it would be delivered in the evening, and they came around noon, not bothering to ring our doorbell to let us know it was sitting outside for us to run over!! Then they billed us almost $50 to pick up and deliver even though they are only approximately 6 miles away from our house. In short, this business is run by HIGHLY INCOMPETENT AND RUDE OWNERS!!

I also found prices to be reasonable and affordable. The owner, Mark, is a delight, and the artists are quite personable. I had the pleasure of meeting a few of them and even walking away with a beautiful piece from one of them, Chris Sell. There is a parking lot right outside the door and a ramp to support accessibility. They make good use of the space they have, displaying pieces at every turn without making you feel like you are going to bump into something. I recommend checking it out if you haven't yet.
