Ready, Set, Recommend! We would like to bring the community together, for an Ashland Community Reads. This is to promote discussion and literacy and foster a sense of community.
WHAT THE LIBRARY HAS TO OFFER
While our doors are still closed, look at what we have going on.
Activities- There are activities for all ages in the windows. We have a look and find, word search, and scavenger hunt, up right now, to enjoy walking around the library.
Curbside- Tuesday and Thursday 11-6:30pm and Saturday 12-5. If you want to see all available books, audio books, movies, and puzzles, go to https://ashland.biblionix.com/catalog/login. In the top right corner you can login to access your account. You can also call 402-521-2012, text 402-265-4276, or email ashlandill@hotmail.com your request.
Window Displays- Each week we put up new book displays in the windows. If you want to pick a book by the cover, they are new each week for you to view.
Technology Appointments- Do you know an adult who uses the library for printing or computer use? Let them know they can call to make an appointment to come in. You can also make your own appointment at http://ashlandne.evanced.info/signup
Reader Zone- Summer Reading is underway and you can still sign up and log minutes. We are using the app called Reader Zone. Once you download and register you will enter the code dd3fe to sign up. Prizes will be awarded!
Libby- If you prefer an app for your e-books and audio books you can get Libby by Overdrive for free with your library card. If you need to update your card or need a card, call.
1000 Books Before Kindergarten- We have sheets, so your little one can keep recording their books. To pick up sheets just call during curbside from the alleyway. In Aug we will have a prize pick up.

Ashland Public Library Names New Director
Amanda Peña is the new library director. A longtime resident of Portland, she began her career at the library in high school as a clerk for Temecula Public Library in Southern California. With a 20 year career in libraries, she’s done everything from driving a bookmobile to helping incarcerated youth find their love of reading.
For the last 14 years, she worked at the Hillsboro Public Library, a suburb of Portland, Oregon, in a variety of roles with her previous job as the Training and Learning Librarian Supervisor. She loved living in the Pacific Northwest, but she and her family decided to move to Omaha in October to be closer to the family for their two-year-old daughter.
She is passionate about the important role of public libraries in developing vibrant and engaged communities. She is excited to meet everyone and to learn more about the Ashland community.
