Welcome to your local library! Find the resources you need by searching our catalog for books, audiobooks on CD, magazines, e-books, and DVDs. Thanks to a joint effort between the Nebraska Library Commission and an ever increasing number of Nebraska libraries, you can download about 2000 audiobooks and transfer them to an iPod or MP3 player! Perform research with our electronic databases. You can find information about ancestors or articles for school and college classes, and you can use databases designed to help you find the next book to read. We invite you to attend our programs for adults, teens, and children. Of course, we also welcome you into the library to browse, ask questions of our staff, use our computers, or access the internet!
The timing has made this a holiday "gift" for the library. Our hope is that the end result will be a collection where items are easier to find. The shelves are also giving us a bit of added space.
Once again, the Library is making some of the most common tax forms available free of charge until supplies run out. Also, forms and publications can be downloaded from www.irs.gov for federal taxes and www.revenue.ne.gov/tax/current/current.html#ind for state taxes.
Some are wondering what is going on with the library's building project. The simple answer is: Right now, it is on hold. To begin the planning process that leads to a building design for a proposed new library building, the architect first needs to know the site for the building. The city has been master planning its land and it must deal with any issues that arise in that process. Once the site for the library is officially designated, the building committee should be able to begin working with the architect in a design process that will include public input. To help keep you abreast of developments pertaining to plans for a new library building, the Gretna Library Foundation started a blog. The blog is located at http://gretnalibraryfoundation.blogspot.com.
If you've taken time to look at the Adult Services, Teen, and Kid's Korner portions of our website lately you will notice that they have undergone some pretty dramatic changes. They are in blog format and are kept quite current by staff. If you use RSS feeds in your browser, on your home page, or in a blogreader, you can enter these links and stay on top of what is going on at the library almost on autopilot (you still have to read)!
