“Adventure is Out There” with summer activities in full swing at the Atkinson Public Library!
Crafts for Kids started off the week with seventy-eight children and adults crafting a paper “Up” themed house with colorful balloons floating on an adventure.
American Legion Poppy Poster Entries and Winners are on display at the library until Memorial Day – stop in to view these wonderful projects!
Area school groups put together “Hand Picked for You” flower crafts at the Atkinson Public Library for Mother’s Day! The projects, compliments of the Central Plains Library System, were made up of cute paper flower pots and decorated handprint “flowers”.
Stop by the library to view the wonderful items on display by members of the Ranchland Art Group – now through May 15th!

Nebraska historian Jeff Barnes presented “The Queen’s Road: Nebraska’s Bumpy Ride to Statehood” at the Atkinson Public Library on Thursday, April 11. The program, which was sponsored by Humanities Nebraska and the Atkinson Friends of the Library, was presented to a group of forty children and adults.
Barnes’s talk covered the transitional years of the Nebraska Territory, with its borders shrinking, its national significance increasing, and its sometimes shaky trek to statehood.
