Nebraska Humanities Program
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.
Easter Scavenger Hunt at the Library!
An Easter themed scavenger hunt was recently held at the Atkinson Public Library. Sixteen items were hidden throughout the library for the 126 participants to find. Afterward, they traded in their finished hunt card for a yummy treat.
Easter Crafts for Kids
Crafters at the Atkinson Public Library had a hippity-hoppity time putting together Easter themed bunny frames, necklace crafts, and slap bracelets. There were a total of 220 craft projects completed. Children were also able to have their picture taken as the Easter bunny, and could pick from some really cute coloring/activity pages to work on.
