Author: Josh Lamberty (WQAD) Updated: 6:01 PM CST January 17, 2021 DAVENPORT, Iowa — The Davenport Public Library on Main Street closed in December, as construction crews work on some major renovations. When you walk in to a library, most don't sound quite like the one in Downtown Davenport. Davenport Public Library Director Amy Groskopf hears that noise every day. "It's been a little nerve-wracking to hear all the noise and know that some walls are coming down," Groskopf said.
