HELPING BUILD A STRONG COMMUNITY
@ YOUR LIBRARY
GILIBRARY 2020 Highlights for 2017
Renovation Project Makes
Significant Progress
The Clark Enersen Partners
architectural firm of Lincoln, NE
was chosen to move our library’s
renovation project forward from
design through construction, along
with procurement of selected
furnishings.
Three main goals were set in 2017
for this renovation project:
1) Improved Parking and Plaza
2) Improved Meeting and Study
Spaces
3) Improved Teen Area and
Creation of Makerspace
About 1/2 of the funding for this
renovation is coming from the
Myrtle Grimminger estate. To
make this renovation a complete
success in 2018, the Grand Island
Public Library Foundation
announced in November the
beginning of a fundraising
campaign.
This project is being financed
without City tax dollars. For more
information about how your can
help out, go to giplf.org.
Quite a Building Summer
@ the Library
As we were preparing to build
(renovate) throughout 2017, we
had a great Build a Better World
Summer Reading Program
complete with reading, Legos,
Minecraft, and even visits from the
new Grand Island Public Schools
Mobile Makerspace.
The library was a community
partner in designing a TMC
(Think, Make, Create) trailer as
part of a Nebraska Children and
Families Foundation grant awarded
to GIPS. Our library serves as a
hub for out-of-school programming
for youth and we combine reading
and learning with hands-on
projects. This maker culture is
what is driving our new
Makerspace with high-tech
equipment so students and the
general public can go full-STEAM
(Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts & Math) ahead
in life!
More County Residents Getting
Library Cards
It’s been 15 months since the
restoration of Hall County funding
for county residents’ library cards.
During that time, enrollment has
increased 63% to 652 households.
We thank the Hall County board
for the opportunity to be of service
to citizens throughout Hall County,
and especially thank our many
cardholders for your patronage.
Library Celebrates
Nebraska 150
We held a Nebraska 150
sanctioned event in honor of our
annual Abbott Sisters Day. The
library, Hall County Historical
Society, Prairie Pioneer
Genealogical Society, the Betsey
Hager Chapter of the Daughters of
the American Revolution (DAR)
and Stuhr Museum discussed how
each of our resources can help you
learn about the Abbott sisters and
the Abbott family.
Our library was formed in 1884
and through the Abbott family has
roots back to the first days of
Nebraska statehood.
