FIRST LOOK AT RENOVATIONS—
WORK TO BEGIN JANUARY 2018
After a decade of planning, observing and listening, our library is
moving forward with renovations to the Edith Abbott Memorial
Library facility and site. For the next few months, our newsletter will
be devoted to updates on our progress as we move through the
construction documents, contract award, logistics for operations while
renovations are underway, and grand re-opening.
It’s certainly time to “Reinvest in your Public Library” thanks to the
Myrtle Grimminger estate, grants being written and upcoming
fundraising coordinated by Grand Island Public Library Foundation.
All along we’ve been keeping in mind our project’s four fundamental
building-blocks of reaffirming, responding, reimagining, and then
renovating. We are so grateful to our patrons whose everyday use of
our library, suggestions for improvement and continual
encouragement will make all our reaffirming, responding, reimagining
and renovating worthwhile.
Reaffirming our library’s mission as this diverse community’s center
for a lifetime of learning and literacy since 1884.
Responding as a library with community gathering and learning center
welcoming for all ages, diverse backgrounds and interests, with
continually improving spaces for individual, collaborative and creative
learning through programs, services, and meetings.
And responding to changes in library use incorporating the book as
well as other technologies on our physical and electronic shelves.
Reimagining and Renovating — the adventure begins as you open this
newsletter and follow along in coming months!
