There’s nothing better than a good book! Well, maybe there is. OK, absolutely! Like holding my nine-month old sleeping grandson or seeing him smile
when I walk into the room or watching him try to dance while his Mommy is singing one of her silly songs. Real life is the best, but when you can’t have the real thing, it is fun to immerse yourself in a good book and dream that you are actually on location. You’re only limited by your imagination. Whether you like adventure, romance, intrigue or reading about someone else’s real life, you can find it at your local library. We also have the Nebraska Life magazine. It’s a great resource for possible vacation spots or just finding out how the other ‘half’ lives.
We have many, many large print books to make reading easier on the eyes, but if you need books on tape because of failing eyesight, we can set you up with contacts to help you to enjoy a favorite pastime. Or, check out this website: www.nlc.state.ne.us/tbbs either at home, on our two public computers here in the library, or on your own wireless laptop using our wireless capabilities.

‘READ BY THE INCH’
‘Read By The Inch’ is the Summer Reading Program now underway at the Library. Youngsters aged 3 to 8th grade are encouraged to participate from now until the end of July. The goal of the summer reading program is to keep the students involved with reading during their summer vacation. Parents are encouraged to read to the younger children so they may participate as well.
We will keep track of how much the youngsters read by measuring the thickness of each age appropriate book. For every inch they read they will have their name put in the drawing for prizes. Each participant will answer questions about the books they read.
