Where We Are.

Just a quick update on the status of our libraries. The McCook von Riesen library has finished its major summer remodel and weeding project. We are currently working on updating and weeding our 45,000 e-books that we share between libraries. Our OCLC batch upload project is beginning this week. Hopefully that will not take as long as it did to complete the inventory! Overall our collection is in a much better position and we can finally decide where to stop developing the collection, whether it be digital or print. The Learning Resource Center (LRC) in North Platte is still in the middle of its inventory project. They too finished a massive weeding and shelf remodeling project from last summer. They will be hiring a new evening p/t assistant shortly and get that training underway. They also will be assisting with the e-book project. As always, both libraries continue to provide top quality service as well as Library Instruction sessions. Our staff serve on various committees and offer additional educational opportunities whenever possible. So even though we are always busy, we always have time to assist patrons with any needs they have. So please, stop by our libraries for a free cup of coffee or just to meet our wonderful staff!
