PLS is a member of Cradle Catchers, which is sponsored by Theta Chapter Delta Kappa Gamma, Scottsbluff Public Library, Birth and Infant Care Center (RWMC), and the Panhandle Library System. Theta educators initiated the Cradle Catchers project, which began January 1, 2008.
“Read to Me” book bags are brought to the Infant Care Center at Regional West Medical Center, which include a board book, brochure on the importance of reading, and a coupon to take to the local library for a “Read to Me” sippy cup. New parents are given these bags at RWMC and parents may bring the coupon to their local Panhandle library for a free sippy cup.
Once at the library, parents and children are oriented to library services, and invited to storytime and special events. All PLS public libraries should have sippy cups to distribute to new parents. Please contact the PLS office if you need additional sippy cups or would like more information.

Is your library the place for community conversations? The Nebraska Humanities Council (NHC) has launched a new program to promote civil discussion in our communities. The program, which offers structure and funding, is available to any nonprofit or governmental organization—with a special invitation to Nebraska’s libraries, which we know would be great hosts for community conversations. The new program has been developed in response to the call for more civility and dialogue in community life. “NebraskaConversations: A Guide for Civil Discussion” is designed to provide Nebraska communities with a structure and funding to create safe, comfortable and reflective environments for discussion of any important issue.
NHC invites nonprofit and governmental groups to apply. Eligible organizations include schools, libraries, museums, civic groups, service clubs, tribal organizations, educational institutions and local governments.
NHC will provide funding for facilitation, presenters, meeting space and materials, and refreshments.
NOTE: Organizations are strongly urged to submit a proposal form at least 60 days before the proposed meeting date.
For more details or to apply for “Nebraska Conversations,” visit the NHC website atwww.nebraskahumanities.org. A descriptive brochure is available online or by contacting the NHC by mail at 215 Centennial Mall South, Ste 330, Lincoln, NE 68508, by phone at 402-474-2131, or by e-mail at nhc@nebraskahumanities.org .

Kimball and Arthur County are the 2nd and 3rd libraries in the Panhandle Library System to launch new websites via WordPress as part of the Nebraska Libraries on the Web Project.
What a gorgeous photo used in the banner at the top of Arthur County Public Library’s website. I hear the images were submitted by a local photographer. Breathtaking!
