Give to NPPL Foundation on May 2nd

North Platte Giving Day is Wednesday, May 2, 2018. Make your donations at https://northplattegivingday.org.

This year’s donations to NPPL Foundation are earmarked for makerspace equipment and supplies. The North Platte Public Library will be closed May 7 – 23, 2018 for reorganization and to make room for construction of a permanent room to house various equipment. The Library received a grant in 2017 to house nearly $150,000 in equipment starting this September through January to give the community ideas for our makerspace. Then in January / February 2019, the money raised during NP Giving Day 2018 will be used to purchase permanent equipment for the community.

Please watch the video to get an idea of the equipment coming in September 2018 and what it can do.
