The Waukee Public Library Friends Foundation funded the transformation of a former small children’s restroom to a new mother’s room at the Waukee Public Library!

Library staff noted a greater need for a mother’s room as they see many new moms in the community visiting the library. Staff members have also been welcoming new babies. It made sense to convert the existing bathroom into a dedicated mother’s room for nursing, diaper changing, or quiet time.

New paint, furniture, and a change to the sink now make this space more welcoming and useful for families. If you need the mother’s room, you can find it in the children’s section near the audiobooks.
