The municipal public library is the James Kennedy Public Library. In 1956 the city council proposed a standalone library to replace the collection at city hall, and on September 11, 1959 it was dedicated. In 1970 a children's library area was placed in a former fire station. The current library was formally named after its benefactor on March 1, 2001 and broke ground on April 1, 2001.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dyersville.lib.ia.us/about/branches-1|title=History|publisher=James Kennedy Public Library|access-date=2020-04-18}}</ref>
