NLC and the Bezos Family Foundation envision cities as places in which all children receive nurturing early childhood experiences, in which children and their families receive the supports they need to be healthy and thriving, in which children are considered throughout policy and practice decisions, and in which programs, services, and policies, exist and work together to ensure that every child reaches their full potential. National League of Cities (NLC) works with communities across the US to develop Early Learning Communities. As part of Nebraska’s application for this program, Former Mayor Jensen had expressed the City’s support for project involvement. Early this year we found out through the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation (NCFF), which is financially supporting this project as part of its Communities for Kids (C4K) program, that NLC has approved our state application. While NLC usually works with larger cities, our application was unique in that six communities - Grand Island, Gothenburg, Norfolk, Red Cloud, Schuyler, and Wood River - are forming together with NCFF (the Lincoln star below) as one team to participate in this initiative. Representing Grand Island are: Celine Swan, Youth and Family Services Librarian, Grand Island Public Library Barb Beck, Early Childhood Education Instructor, Central Community College Grand Island Regular Meeting - 2/25/2019 Page 26 / 30 NCFF has established the role envisioned for Celine, Barb and the cohort of Nebraska communities as part of the imitative: Two representatives from each of the six communities, and two representatives from NCFF, will commit to work together to address early learning options in their own communities. These representatives will attend NLC’s City Leadership for Building an Early Learning Nation Leadership Academy meeting in March 2019 and another conference at the end of the 18-month initiative. There should be no local expenses as NLC will support the travel expenses of seven (half) of the representatives to attend this meeting and the NCFF will support the travel expenses of the other seven. Nebraska communities will participate in any peer learning opportunities, including every-other- month webinars. NLC will work with NCFF to brainstorm other customized ways that NLC can support the work of the six communities. NLC will provide technical assistance throughout, and will support a site visit to visit Nebraska, possibly during the second annual Thriving Communities and Families conference in September 2019. NLC has identified four City Leadership for Building an Early Learning Nation project goals: 1.Expand the number of cities nationally taking action to promote early learning 2.Increase city leaders’ capacity to implement new early learning programs and policies through use of the Early Learning Communities Action Guide and with technical assistance support from NLC 3.Increase national recognition of the important role that city leaders play in championing healthy development and learning outcomes for young children 4.Deepen cities‘ efforts among four key focus areas (below).

Section three of the Circulation Policy pertains to fines and fees and currently contains four subsections. Board approval is sought to add a section five delineating established procedures with the City of Grand Island as follows: 5. City of Grand Island Procedures. Patrons making payment with checks returned for nonsufficient funds shall be assessed fees by the City of Grand Island.

No address change was made by the library at that time. Now that we have completely closed off what used to be Washington Street in front of the library, and after consultation with representatives of the Fire Department and Regional Planning Department, board approval is sought for a change in our address from 211 North Washington Street to 1124 West 2nd Street.
