NEW INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
WITH HALL COUNTY IN SIGHT!
After months of committee work and analysis, on October 17 the
Library Board will be considering approval of an agreement between
the city, library and county “for the purpose of granting library use and
privileges and for providing library cards to Hall County residents
living outside the city limits of Grand Island”. If approved, the
agreement will go to the County Board and City Council for approval.
In the spirit of cooperation and in anticipation of a successful contract,
we have been issuing free household cards since October 1. So far, so
good!
We are looking forward to making this new contract work for all Hall
County residents. Many of you will remember the free card service and
bookmobile under our old
contract. While we will no
longer have a bookmobile
traveling through the county,
the value of a free library card is
immense!
Many thanks to Alan Lepler and
Rob Czaplewski on the Library
Board committee, Jane
Richardson, Gary Quandt and
Pam Lancaster on the County
Board committee, the Library
Board and County Board for
already approving this contract
in principal, and to County
Attorney Jack Zitterkopf and
City Attorney Jerry Janulewicz for their expertise in crafting the
agreement.

End of fiscal year, that is. The
numbers below reflect almost 1.2
million services that we can count,
and there is so much more that we
can’t.
We treat every single transaction
as a valued relationship we have
with you, your family and our
community. One number might
reflect a good read, another a life
changing piece of information.
One time a book is involved,
another time an electronic device
such as a tablet.
From our Children’s Area
Discovery Center to our Heritage
Room and everywhere in between,
we are ready to serve you every
open hour and at all hours of the
day through our website and social
media. And whether you can find
everything you need or you need
assistance, every service we
provide requires a hard-working,
dedicated and creative library staff
member or volunteer.

One way to move into the future with our GILIBRARY 2020 plan is to actually move things around. Our
facility has a lot of flexibility, and if you’ve been around long enough you’ve seen us on the move several
times.
We started doing our latest move in August. Please take a look at the recent changes to both the adult/teen
and children’s areas. The adult fiction and nonfiction stacks were moved around to allow for future growth
in teen services including a possible makerspace (3-D printer and other high-tech creative tools).
The more pronounced separation between adult fiction and nonfiction has allowed us to increase the size
of the paperback section. Study tables were rearranged and will be retrofitted for power as a convenience to
those with laptops using our wifi.
The children’s section audiovisual shelving and teen/reference shelving were switched out to make the
children’s shelving lower. The easy reader books have been incorporated into the Discovery Center as we
start to enhance this area in order to encourage greater use of these materials by pre-schoolers and early
elementary students. We are adding casters to the yellow picture book bins and will be moving those
around as well to incorporate them more into the Discovery Center. And soon we will be adding some
more seating for parents as they playfully learn with their children.
Such moves and GILIBRARY 2020 are solid and well-thought-out guides to move library services into the
future along with our fantastic community. Our Library Board will soon be reviewing concepts that will
turn into a renovation project funded by a donation from the Myrtle Grimminger estate (more details
soon). We are also looking at grant funding for several of our GILIBRARY 2020 initiatives and of course,
we cooperate closely with Grow Grand Island as our library helps build a strong community 12 ways!
WE ARE ON THE MOVE TOWARD AN EVEN BETTER FUTURE!

AND THE GRAND ISLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and among the County of Hall, Nebraska, a
body politic and corporate and a political subdivision of the State of Nebraska, hereinafter referred to as the “County,” the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, a body politic and corporate and a political subdivision of the State of Nebraska, hereinafter referred to as the “City,” and the
Grand Island Public Library Board, hereinafter referred to as “Library”,
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Interlocal Cooperation Act, NEB.REV.STAT. §13-801 et seq., provides that units of local government of the State of Nebraska and Nebraska state agencies may enter into
agreement for the joint and cooperative exercise of powers, privileges or authority capable of
being exercised by either agency; and
WHEREAS, the Interlocal Cooperation Act further provides that any one or more public agencies may contract with any one or more public agencies to perform any governmental
service, activity or other undertaking which each public agency entering into the contract is
authorized by law to perform; and
WHEREAS, County and Library wish to enter into this interlocal agreement for the purpose of granting library use and privileges and for providing library cards to Hall County residents living
outside the city limits of Grand Island, and
WHEREAS, Nebraska Revised Statute Sec. 51-208 authorizes the library board of any public city library to contract with the county board in which the library is located to furnish the use and privileges of its library to the inhabitants of such county to the extent and upon such terms as
may be agreed upon.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these facts, the parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows:

5. Library’s Obligations: Commencing October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2018, Library shall provide the cards to be issued pursuant to this agreement. The cards provided pursuant to this agreement shall be issued to Hall County residents living

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all non-resident library cards and the library use and privileges granted hereby shall terminate on September 30, 2018 unless this agreement is extended, renewed or replaced by a new agreement providing for
