Summer Reading Program- “Oceans of Possibilities”
Our summer reading program is currently underway. It’s not too late to sign up! We currently have over 62 participants ranging in ages from pre-K through adult. This year we are using BINGO/Challenge cards. There are different BINGO/Challenge cards for each age group. Stop by the library to pick yours up, if you haven’t already. Each BINGO attained equals one entry for the GRAND prize. (Children may also pick out a small prize from the prize chest with each BINGO earned.)
| Summer Reading Program Activity Wednesday, June 15th Stop by the library to explore the oceans and its creatures with Perler beads. Choose a creature from a pattern or create your own! We will melt the beads and make beautiful creatures together! *Perler beads are a choking hazard for small children and accompaniment by an adult is highly encouraged. Story Time Thursday, June 16th at 3:30 p.m. Come join us for our story time! Each week, we read a few fun stories and then do a craft or activity based on what was read. Lego Club Thursday, June 16th at 4:00 p.m. The theme for Lego Club this week is “Underwater Creatures.” Make your favorite creature out of Lego bricks.

Library Happenings
Trick-or-Treat at the Library
We will be having our annual Halloween event on Saturday, October 31st from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. We will be handing out candy via a candy chute Miss Megan is building out of cardboard tubes! This will make the night extra fun and safe. We hope you will come see us.
Virtual Story Time
There was a hiccup in our usual Virtual Story Time this week due to scheduling conflicts. We will be back next week with a bunch of spooky and fun Halloween stories.
Library Closures
The library will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th for Veterans Day.
The library will close for Thanksgiving on Wednesday, November 25th at 5:00 p.m. The library will reopen on Saturday, November 29th at 10:00 a.m.
Lego Club
Lego Club will be held on Thursday, November 5th and Thursday, November 19th from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Children attending the event will make a lego creation based on our theme for that week. It is a ton of fun and we hope you will join us!
All the legos are sanitized prior to each meeting and we have hand sanitizer available. Social distancing guidelines will be adhered to. Children younger than 7 need to be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible older sibling.
We are much more spread out now!
Temporary Hours
We are implementing a temporary change to our hours. This will start Monday, October 19th and end Monday, December 14th.
The library will close from 12:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays. We will still open each morning at 10:00 a.m. We will still close Mondays at 7:00 p.m. and Tuesdays at 5:00 p.m.
Our wonderful library aide leaves us for a few weeks every year to help with Medicare enrollment. This change gives our library director a chance to eat lunch on the days where she is the only person working. You don’t want a “hangry” librarian!
Thanks so much for your understanding.
Welcome!
Tekamah Public Library is excited to announce the creation of its new website, which was made possible through the Nebraska Library Commission.
We have used Facebook as our main method of digital communication since the page was created in 2009. We will now be moving away from the Facebook platform and using this website exclusively for updates.
Only urgent updates will be posted to Facebook for easy sharing. We encourage patrons to both follow us on Facebook and check our new website for updates.
Patrons are also encouraged to signup for our email list.
We hope you love our new website as much as we do! Please feel free to contact us at teklibdirector@gmail.com or (402) 374-2453 if you have any suggestions or comments.
