New Imagination Library Program Promotes Early Childhood Literacy

Library Events

Any parent of a child under age 5 in Hall, Howard, Hamilton or Merrick counties can sign up to receive a book each month for their kids from birth until their fifth birthday. The program is completely free, and the parents’ only obligation is to read to their kids.   The Imagination Library Program encourages parents to read to their children, which develops a strong foundation for learning.
Heartland United Way will be @ our library on Wednesday, June 26 1:00-2:15 to accept registrations (during our afternoon Summer Reading Program). What a great program!! 🙂

Humanities Nebraska Program Being Held @ Library June 21!

Library Events

Be sure to mark your calendars for the special Humanities Nebraska Program being held at the library Friday, June 21 @ 1:00 pm: “THE ANCIENT WORLD IN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE”!

Professor Leonard Greenspoon (Creighton University) will be presenting an illustrated talk exploring the many ways in which movies, the popular press, museum exhibitions (such as the library’s current “Harry Potter’s World exhibinebraskahumanitiestion), TV shows, comic books, the Internet–and other forms of popular culture–entertain and educate us about the ancient world, and what all of this tells about antiquity and about our own world of the 21st century!

This presentation is made possible by Humanities Nebraska, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment and Central City Public Library as part of the HN Speakers Bureau.
