NORTH LIBERTY– It’s been almost five years since John and Amanda Hruby bought a long-established bar in North Liberty and began working to make it better.
Since then, J&A Tap’s food, beverage selection, live music and volleyball leagues have drawn so many patrons the couple has had to expand their offerings.
On July 23, the North Liberty City Council approved conditional use permit and site plan for J&A Tap, so the crowds of people who come to play volleyball will be able to both serve and be served outdoors.

NORTH LIBERTY– School board candidate Sara Barron will hold a listening post Thursday, Aug. 15, from 5 until 7 p.m. at the North Liberty Community Center.
Barron has said that her top priorities are to encourage collaboration and cooperation throughout the district, to promote the health and well-being of students and staff, to ensure equity in resources throughout the district, and to boost achievement for low-income students and students of color.
Barron is a strong supporter of the third comprehensive high school.
