Superior Public Library

The library will be offering a number of computer classes in conjunction with Central Community College in Hastings.  If there is something you want to learn, such as Power, Point, Word, Publisher, Excel,
e-Bay, Facebook, e-mail or   just basic computer skills, contact us here at the library.  If there is anything else you would be interested in we will see if we can get a class going on other interests too.  We hope to offer classes through out the winter. 402 879-4200.

Every miller that is flying around this light represents 1 hour of reading from the summer reading participates. It is 365 + hours at the end of the 5 weeks of reading.

The library hosted a stargazing program at the Superior Airport as part of the summer reading program. Dan Glomski and his wife Tracy along with Bob Flagel from the Platte Valley Astronomical Observers brought their telescopes to show us the night sky.  After a short program the skys cleared up just long enough for us to view the sky.  They also told us that the Sachtleben Observatory in Hastings is open to the public 2 Saturdays a month, and you can check it out  the schedule at Http://www.hastings.edu.

There is an interesting site if you are interested in the night sky that will show you the sky in real time.  If you are interested check out the website at Http://www.stellarium.org.

Well have had a good time this year in our summer reading  program.   We made pillows one week and had the Exotic animals come visit.  That was the highlight of the whole summer reading program. Magical Paradise Exotic Farm from Central City reallly kept the child glued to their seats.  They brought most of the animals around so that you could pet them if you wanted.  There are a lot of kids who suddenly want an exotic pet.

Spring is here and it is time to think about the yard.  The library has many books and magazines on landscaping, gardening, and plant selection. There are books on shade gardens, ponds, hardscapes, greenhouses, problems with bugs and diseases, when and where to plant, and just about any other question  you might have.  Come in and check them out.

We have gone live with the new system.  Check out the card catalog to see our new look.  We will be having an Open House on April 4th.  Come in during regular hours and have a cookie and see the new laptops and other equipment, operating system, and you can check out some of the e-readers to see if you would like one.

There are other places to find really good book reviews besides Amazon or other vendors.  You can use this site without subscribing for book reviews, “great reads”, blogs, award winning books, and other great parts of the page. Check out Booklist On-line at http://www.booklistonline.com/.
