Serving Schuyler Nebraska and the surrounding Colfax County area.
There is a cart of FREE BOOKS parked out in front of the Library. Help yourselves! These are old library books we don’t need anymore. You do not need to return them; you get to keep these. (Your regularly checked out library books sill need to come back home, though. Our book drop is always open.)

At 1PM, author Dan Gutman reads a couple of chapters of one of his books for us. This week, he’s reading Dr. Floss is the Boss. It’s SO FUNNY! Head over to his Facebook page.
As always, we still have FREE 24/7 WiFi available outside of the Library building. And if you’re in you’re car, you’re already distanced from other people. 🙂
