North Liberty Library opens new room for breastfeeding moms – KCRG

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa (KCRG-TV9) There is the new nursing station for mothers at North Liberty Library.

It's a room designed for mothers who are looking for a private space to nurse.

North Liberty Library started talking about getting the space last Fall.

They say several mothers approached them, asking about a private space to nurse.

North Liberty Library approached Mercy Iowa City and the hospital agreed to donate a space in the library.

The hospital even added artwork around the lactation station.

After taking a look inside the nursing station, Lisa Augspurger, a North Liberty mom told KCRGTV-9 the new space will be perfect for mothers who are nursing.

First times moms especially who like to have the privacy to nurse and it's a really nice comfy space in here and it's well lit which is nice, but private so it's great, says Augspurger.

And North Liberty's Library Director Jennie Garner says this new nursing station will allow moms to be able to stay at their facility longer.

"Takes down that barrier of having a nursing mom being out and then all of a sudden they have to drop everything and leave because baby gets hungry or they need to use the breast pump so that will help them be able to stay longer, says Garner.

North Liberty Library is not the first in the area to get a lactation room.

Iowa City Library and Corallville libraries also offer a space to nurse.

The North Liberty Library unveiled their new space Tuesday morning and they hope it will help mothers in the area.
