The Library has many best-sellers, a wide variety of children's books, videos, DVD's and some audio books. There are also computers for public use. Story hours are offered for pre-school age children and a summer program is held each year. The library achieved acreditation in 2005 for the first time and completed automating services in 2007. The Friends of the Zybell Library organization (FOZL) has recently purchased a new microfilm viewer for use in reading old newspapers and some remodeling was done in the workroom area.

The City of Clarence is proud to maintain a beautiful City Park located along 1st Avenue, with newly renovated restrooms, playground equipment, replica of the Statue of Liberty, two enclosed park shelters, open shelter, basketball & tennis courts, sand volleyball, horseshoe pits and 2 baseball diamonds, all in one area. Park benches have been installed in memory of loved ones. The park comes to life with activity in the summer with little league, softball games and a recreation program. Park shelters may be rented for reunions and other special occasions by calling City Hall at 563-452-3625. Cost is $25.00. An active park board makes decisions on park improvements. A new kitchen and open shelter area were added to the west end of the middle building in 2006. A walking trail around the perimeter of the park was completed by board members and many volunteers from the community in 2007. The park received a donation of land that increased the size of the park by nearly double. If you have ideas about what you would like to see done in this area please contact any park board member or city official.

Park Board Officers are:

President: Don Hunwardsen
Vice President: Levi Van Oort
Secretary: Jamie Wilhau
Treasurer: Brian C. Utter
