I can’t believe it’s already that time of year
again. Taxes. Certainly not my favorite thing and I’m
guessing most people would agree with me.
For years, the State supplied public libraries with tax forms and
booklets. Unfortunately, that will not
be the case this year, largely due to budget constraints.
However, you can access the forms and
booklets from our website. From the main
page, go to “Helpful Links”, then “Find Information”. Under the “Government” heading, select “Iowa
Taxes”. That will take you to the Iowa
Department of Revenue website where the forms are located. If you need any assistance in locating the
forms, don’t hesitate to ask. We’re more
than happy to help. Also, this is only
for the Iowa state tax forms. Federal
tax forms have been ordered and should be arriving soon.
On a much more fun topic, I had the
opportunity to speak to the women’s group at Heritage House yesterday morning
about how Atlantic acquired a Carnegie Library.
The process was the same for every library across the country that
applied for a grant from steel-magnate, Andrew Carnegie, but I was able to find
some local newspaper articles from 1903 that provided some unique details about
the process for Atlantic. (Thanks to the
Cass Co. Genealogical Society for digging those up for me!) It was a lot of fun to research it and a lot
of fun to share it. I could not have
been more warmly welcomed. And if they
have pastries like that at every meeting, I would be happy to come again!
