It’s been an EXCITING WEEK at CCPL! Not only did we begin our INTERIOR PAINTING PROJECT, we also had BRAND NEW LIBRARY SOFTWARE installed!

The prep work for the painting project (ceiling and main areas of library) took up most of this week. Yesterday, the vaulted ceilings began getting sprayed with paint. NEXT WEEK, the walls and door/window trims will be worked on.We’ll keep you posted as to when we’ll be reopening to the public.

Thank-you to everyone for your patience!

As you can see from the photos, there is a TON of prep work involved! Almost everything in the main area is encased in plastic. Library staff are available throughout the work week, to answer questions, empty book drop, fill curbside pick up requests, etc.Monday-Friday 9am-5pm at 308.946.2512

Due dates are being extended for all items currently checked out. Items may be returned to the library via our book drop.Free WiFi will continue to be available to users, around the exterior of our building (no password required).

During this time, we encourage our patrons to take advantage of online resources such as:

Nebraska OverDrive https://nebraska.overdrive.com/

Libby App (Download Libby on the AppStore or Get It On Google Play). Call library staff during normal business hours at 308-946-2512 for your current library card number and PIN # (to access OverDrive/Libby)
