The National Friends of the Library Bookmark Contest was held, with a total of 235 entries from the Atkinson schools in grades K-6! The Friends would like to thank everyone who participated in the contest – stop by and check out your local talent!
Jeff Barnes, Humanities Nebraska Speaker, presented “The ‘Mad’ Queen of the Prairie” at the Atkinson Public Library to a wonderful crowd of seventy-seven children and adults. Barnes, who has spoken at the library many times, has published multiple books on the history of Nebraska, which are all available for checkout at the library.
The library hosted a Fall Scavenger Hunt from October 9 through the 14th. There were 130 participants that hunted to find the sixteen items hidden all over the library!
