LIBRARY PERFORMERS & SERVICES
Libraries are the backbone of many communities - providing books of all kinds to
communities, but so much more: computers, job services, and a wide variety of free or
low-cost entertainment for kids, teens, and adults.
This Expo page is a one-stop shop for libraries looking for entertainment and programs for
events! Simply click/tap the category of entertainment or services you’re looking for, and
contact the one you’re interested in!
Please note: Iowa Entertainment Expo is a not an agency and does not get any money from performers being hired. This is just
a helpful listing, not a middle-man - if you have any issues, let us know so we can review them being on this listing, but all
contact for services are directly between the library and the performers/services.
IF YOU’RE A PERFORMER OR SERVICE AND WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THIS LIST - CLICK HERE!

YOU SHOULD CONSIDER MAKING IT AVAILABLE FOR LIBRARIES!
WHY?
LIBRARIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY HOLD EVENTS FOR KIDS, TEENS, ADULTS, AND FAMILIES AS PART OF THEIR VALUABLE SERVICE
TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. AS PART OF THAT, MANY RELY ON A VARIETY OF OUTSIDE SERVICES OR PERFORMERS,
PAID FOR EITHER BY THE CITY, OR BY GRANTS GIVEN EACH YEAR. THIS HELPS BRING PEOPLE TO THE LIBRARY TO SHOW THEM
WHAT RESOURCES THE LIBRARY OFFERS, AND TO GET MORE PEOPLE INTO READING AND LEARNING.
PERFORMERS HELP THE LIBRARY BY PROVIDING LOWER-THAN-USUAL PRICING FOR A (POTENTIALLY) SMALLER AND/OR SHORTER
VERSION OF WHAT THEY DO - WHICH CAN ALSO BE A GREAT WAY TO PROMOTE LARGER SERVICES OR EVENTS!
