January 2014

Tuesday, February 4, 2014 the library staff will be offering free iPad training. The main purpose of this training is to help patrons set up their device to access OverDrive, a free online ebook and audiobook checkout system available through the library. We will answer questions and provide support as much as we can outside of OverDrive also.

New to OverDrive is FrontLine Tech Support. This is another layer of support and help available to our patrons when they are having questions about OverDrive. If your question hasn’t been answered in the “Help” section of OverDrive and the librarians are unavailable or unable to help you, you can turn to FrontLine Tech Support right on OverDrive. Simply click the “Help” button or if you are already in the help section, scroll to the bottom of the page to “Support”. When you click on “Support” this will take you right to a FrontLine.

*A Reminder: OverDrive will now be requesting a library specific password to help prevent patrons from checking out books on another library’s patron card. This is not listed as a password, but rather, OverDrive requests a PIN in addition to your library card number. If you do not know this password, please stop by the library to obtain it.

Any other questions? Please contact the library staff at 402-764-7681.

It’s that time of year again, time to cut the clutter and get organized. One way we do this at the library is to get rid of magazines that are 2 years old or older in some cases. Gone are the days of doing a research paper using the Reader’s Guide to Periodicals! (Anyone remember those?) So goes the need to keep magazines around for five or ten years. The library typically keeps back issues of our magazines for one year. Some magazines are held longer due to content that might be relevant in the coming years.

The magazines are free for the taking and are available on the large table in the center of the library. Take as many as you want!
