ABBOTT SISTERS DAY AND NE150
CONVERGE ON MARCH 19 & 20
We’ve been celebrating Abbott Sisters Day on March 20 since 2002. This
year, we’ll just be kicking off the celebration a day early!
We invite you to come to the Library on Sunday, March 19 for an open
house and program on the convergence of Nebraska 150 and the Abbott
Sisters and their family. Hall County Historical Society, Prairie Pioneer
Genealogical Society, DAR and Stuhr Museum will be joining the Library
in featuring our Abbott and Nebraska 150 related services and resources.
The open house runs 1:30—4:00 pm with an educational program starting
at 2:00 pm in the Library’s meeting room. More details will follow
including an Abbott-infused NE150 related book club to run through our
Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program.
Proclaimed statewide, Abbott Sisters Day is an integral part of this
community’s Abbott Sisters Project. The goal of both efforts is to raise
public awareness of the lives and achievements of Edith and Grace
Abbott, natives of Grand Island, who achieved international renown as
educators, social reformers, and authors. We celebrate so that these
important women may continue to influence policy on children’s and
immigrants’ issues and so that their story may serve as an inspiration to
future generations.
Our building’s namesake is Edith Abbott, who became the first woman
dean in the School of Social Services at the University of Chicago 1924-
1942, and the first dean of a graduate school in an American University.
Her bequest was instrumental in the construction of the Edith Abbott
Memorial Library in 1974. Her legacy lives on with an expansion of our
facility in 2007 and plans underway for needed improvements to serve us
well into the future.
Special thanks to the Hall County Historical Society for donating
refreshments for this event. Happy Nebraska 150 and Abbott Sisters Day
everyone!

2. Abbott Sisters Day (March 20)
We had a very successful open house and program on Sunday, March 19 to celebrate the Abbott Sisters, their family and their connections to Nebraska 150. Hall County Historical Society, Prairie Pioneer Genealogical Society and Stuhr
Museum partnered with the Library in featuring our Abbott and Nebraska 150 related services and resources. The open house runs 1:30—4:00 pm with an educational program starting at 2:00 pm in the Library’s meeting room.
Proclaimed statewide, Abbott Sisters Day is an integral part of this community’s Abbott Sisters Project. The goal of
both efforts is to raise public awareness of the lives and achievements of Edith and Grace Abbott, natives of Grand
Island, who achieved international renown as educators, social reformers, and authors. We celebrate so that these
important women may continue to influence policy on children’s and immigrants’ issues and so that their story may
serve as an inspiration to future generations. This year we received a proclamation from Governor Ricketts, and
Mayor Jensen presented the city’s proclamation to Alan Lepler at the March 14 Council meeting.
Our building’s namesake is Edith Abbott, who became the first woman dean in the School of Social Services at the
University of Chicago 1924-1942, and the first dean of a graduate school in an American University. Her bequest was
instrumental in the construction of the Edith Abbott Memorial Library in 1974. Her legacy lives on with an expansion
of our facility in 2007 and plans underway for needed improvements to serve us well into the future.
As part of Abbott Sisters Day, our library has a new online book club called “Reading with the
Abbott Sisters of Grand Island”. Go to our webpage at www.gilibrary.org and click on this graphic.
From there you can sign up for our reading club. “Recollections of a Pioneer Lawyer” by O. A.
Abbott is on top of your reading list. Published in 1929, this work originally appeared in Nebraska History, Vol. 11
(1928), published by the Nebraska State Historical Society, and we have been given permission by the Nebraska State
Historical Society to reproduce online. We keep adding other historical texts and images to our online book club. As
summer approaches, we will fold this club into our Adult Summer Reading Program.
3. Nebraska Library Association Advocacy Day
This event was held in Lincoln on Tuesday, March 21. Celine Swan, Susie Cartwright and I attended along with special guest Deb Barth who received an outstanding volunteer award. Deb has been a volunteer story teller at our library for over 12 years and enjoys dressing in costume. She is loved by all the parents, children and library staff. We treasure her commitment to the library!
We sat with Senator Dan Quick and provided him with information about library services and early childhood literacy.
4. Follow Up on Visit from Central Health Center
I greatly appreciate the feedback of the library board regarding the request of the Central Health Center. Since that
meeting, I received a letter from their director Brady Kerkman indicating that as a result from the input he received from you, their organization was fortunate to obtain an alternate location. For that reason, there is no need for further
discussion. 5. Library Programs and Activities [from previous month, current month and next month] - attached

Regular Meeting
Item F1
Discussion of FY 2017-18 Budget Process
City administration has indicated a $150,000 cut in the library budget will be necessary in the coming
fiscal year in order to balance the city's budget. The understanding at this point is that the net effect
would be less because projected increases in personnel costs would then be added to our budget.
However, a $150,000 budget cut is going to be difficult to absorb without discussion and consensus in
the coming months. Tonight's agenda item is the beginning of that process. Preliminary information
and recommendations will be shared at the meeting.
