Lied Lincoln Township Library, Wausa NE

“SPRING WORK”

The inspiration for this painting is the memory of the rural community surrounding the Village of Wausa, Knox County in northeast Nebraska circa the late 1940′s or early 50′s. The three tractors depicted are a “styled” John Deere Model A, and International Harvester Farmall Model M, and an Allis Chalmers Model WC of which the one depicted would be of 1934 to 1937 vintage. These were the most common brands used in the Wausa area as these three companies had a dealership in Wausa. As the farmers made their rounds in the field preparing a seedbed they would approach the fence line at the same time and stop to visit. It is a cherished memory.

LIED LINCOLN TOWNSHIP LIBRARY GROUNDBREAKING

A most beautiful, picture perfect day greeted the Lied Lincoln Township
Library for the groundbreaking for the new Wausa library. The ceremony
was held April 27, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. on the library grounds. Many
gathered, some with their lawn chairs, to enjoy the warm day and to enjoy
the festivities. Mayor Bill Schumacher welcomed everyone and introduced
Pastor Michelle Oetken, Thabor Lutheran Church, to give the blessing. He
then introduced the members of the Lincoln Township Board, the Lincoln
Township Library Board, the Lincoln Library Foundation Board , the
Building Committee and the Library Director. All of these individuals
have put in many hours of their time and efforts to make this day
possible.

Mayor Schumacher then introduced Shane Clausen, of Clausen Brothers
Contractors, who spoke on the years and efforts in making the new library
a reality. Construction of the library will begin in June. State
Senator Tyson Larson was present and spoke of the benefits a town receives
from having a library and of the benefits that a new library will give to
the people of Wausa. The ground breaking, with a representative from
each board, plus Senator Tyson, Shane Clausen and Virginia Lindquist,
library director each taking a gold shovel, thanks to the efforts of Fred
Frank, and turned the dirt for the new library. Pastor Michelle then gave
a blessing on the soil that will be where the new library is to be built.
Everyone enjoyed refreshments and visiting and looking forward to day the
new library will be a reality for Wausa.

The  ground breaking for the library was postponed because of the weather.  Although not as much snow was received as predicted, I was happy to not have to stand in the cold wind, in snow up to my ankles, trying to chip into frozen ground.  Maybe Mother Nature knew better than we did.  Plans are being made to have the ground breaking at a later time — we’ll keep you posted.

In the Fiction area, we have:

James Patterson has been busy. We have “Zoo”, “I, Michael Bennett”, “NYPD Red”, “Merry Christmas Alex Cross”.

Nora Robert’s 3rd of Inn Boonsboro is here, “The Perfect Hope”, all the more interesting in that one of our volunteers stayed at the Inn recently on a trip East.

John Grisham, “The Racketeer”

J.K Rowling’s new book, “The Casual Vacancy”, you remember her from the Harry Potter series.

Can’t get “Fifty Shades of Gray” at your hometown library? We have it. 

For Non-fiction lovers, “Bonhoeffer”and “Julia Child” have made an appearance. And I highly recommend ‘Killing Lincoln” with “Killing Kennedy” soon to follow. 

For Young Adults, “The Last Days of Lincoln” has come in and this is also one I would pick up after reading “Killing Lincoln” above. You will learn more about the Civil War than you ever did when you were in high school and find it enjoyable too! 

We have had so many wonderful Juvenile books given to us that there are too many to list. Many Christmas books have been set out for you moms and dads to read to your children this Christmas Season. 

“Downton Abbey”, Season 1 and 2 is available. So if you missed out on them on TV, you can catch up before Season 3 starts in January.

An older, funny movie is “Waking Ned Devine”, “Brave” for the kids, and “Moneyball” are available.
