Cowles Library is proud to partner with the American Heart Association as part of the Libraries with Heart initiative.

Thanks to generous funding from the Helmsley Foundation, students, staff, faculty, and community members can now check out self-measure blood pressure devices, access educational resources, and take proactive steps toward heart health. Need additional support? Broadlawns Community Clinic at Drake University is available for follow-up care.

Cowles Library is more than a place for books—we’re a hub for access. From blood pressure monitors to our sensory collection and other non-traditional items in our Library of Things, we offer a variety of resources to support your learning, wellness, and exploration. Stop by and see what you can discover.
