The Maker Space is Open

 Kids, teens and adults are welcome to use the Library's new Maker Space to build, create, discover and explore. In February the Maker space included supplies to make Valentine's Day Cards. Supplies will be available for building and creating anytime. Watch the Library's facebook page as we come up with ideas for future Maker Space projects.



Teen News

 At their last meeting the Library's Teen Advisory Board gave suggestions on how to make the library a community friendly space and shared ideas on ways to bring more people into the library. They also had some great ideas for the Summer Library program. I am constantly impressed with the talents of this group of young people and I am thankful for their help and input. Teens in grades 7-12 can apply for membership. Applications are available at the Library.

Window Project begins March 8th - Please use South Entrance


We are excited to announce that the window restoration project will begin March 8th.  The library will hopefully be able to remain open for most of the project.

We ask that you come in the basement door by the parking lot. The front door will temporarily be out of service

The children's department has been temporarily moved to the new addition in the basement. All adult materials can be found in the new addition upstairs.

The windows are being restored by Pishny Restoration Services out of Lenexa, Kansas. They will begin by removing the windows and taking them to the factory for repair and restoration. They will restore and paint the exterior frames and sills and refinish the interior frames and sills. New storm windows will be installed. The entire project is expected to take about three months. 

The window project was made possible by a Heritage Trust Fund Grant from the Kansas Historical Society. Thanks to the Friends of the Lincoln Carnegie Library for helping with the required match for the grant.




The old part of the library is completely closed.

Please use the south basement entrance by the parking lot.





Adult books and movies are in the new addition upstairs





The children's department has temporarily been moved downstairs
