It really brightened up and freshened up everything throughout!🌟This was a perfect project to complete… to help CELEBRATE our building’s 30TH YEAR!🌟

Of course, we couldn’t have accomplished such a huge project without a bunch of help!

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!🎨💻

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:
