The 2019 Jigsaw Puzzle Tournament is cancelled because we have so much exciting stuff going on right now, we don’t have time to organize the puzzle tournament this year! But please check back in 2020 for a Jigsaw Puzzle Tournament.
Many of you may have heard about the new Creation Station makerspace at the Library. That space is currently equipped through a Library Innovation Studios grant funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and supported by the Nebraska Library Commission and Regional Library Systems, UNL Innovation Studio, and Nebraska Extension.
This equipment is leaving our Library on January 22, 2019 to travel on to another community library awarded the grant. We have been happy with the community response for this equipment and want to help the Library by fundraising for new permanent equipment for our Creation Station.
