The Iowa State Law Library
Title
The Iowa State Law Library
Description
The Iowa State Law Library is located on the Capitol's second floor. The law library features four ornamental balconies with spiraled cast-iron railings and circular staircases at each end. The library houses a collection of approximately 100,000 volumes, and is one of the largest combined law libraries in the United States. The public is welcome to visit the library and may also use the books. Original gaslights or reproduction gaslights, now wired for electricity, have been retained throughout the room. The tile floor and stained glass ceiling in the law library date back to 1884. As part of the Capitol renovation project, restoration painters completed work on the ceiling in the law library in 1997.
