Things are progressing with our construction. We have the ceiling done in the basement. We have lights and framing up in the main part of the library and waiting for the rest of the ceiling tiles to be put in. They are working above the front desk, office and foyer. The elevator has been installed, fire sprinklers and fire alarm system. They are working on the brick work on the outside. We hope to start on the restrooms soon. Stop by and see the progress.
The card catalog at the library and on the website is still being worked on and hope to have it up and running soon.
If you have any questions, stop in or call us at 345-1906.

Library Card Sign-up Month
September is Library Card Sign-up month at McCook Public Library. If you do not have a current library card and live inside of McCook city limits, all you need is a photo ID and a current piece of mail showing your address. Bring these items in and fill out an application card and you will be all set. Cards do need to be renewed each year so we may update your information.
If you live outside city limits then we also need a photo ID, a current piece of mail and $10. This library card is good for one year and includes the family members living at this household. Bring these items in and fill out an application card.
Some reasons for getting a library card include: empower yourself-check out a book, enroll your child in the summer reading program, download an e-book through Nebraska Overdrive, use a library computer, attend story time, trek to another planet with a sci-fi book, free online tools, build your young readers’s self esteem or find a quiet spot and enjoy a good book.
