Books to browse. Gathering spaces. A teaching kitchen. A makerspace. A seed library. Rooftop views. Places to read, create, learn, explore and connect.

Lincoln's new Central Library is designed to serve our community and bring joy for generations to come.

Today marks the launch of the public fundraising campaign led by the Foundation for Lincoln City Libraries, and it is such an important and exciting milestone.

Learn more about the project, what's planned for Lincoln's future Central Library, and about a special Community Campaign Kickoff on Thursday, June 25, 5–7 p.m. at the Lincoln Community Foundation Gardens.

Meet some of the people helping make summer at the library possible!

From preparing materials and assisting at programs to helping at outreach events (and occasionally dancing in an inflatable dinosaur costume!), our interns, volunteers, and outreach staff are always willing to jump in wherever they're needed. We're lucky to have them on the team!

It’s going to be a hot one, Lincoln!

If you need a break from the heat, Lincoln City Libraries branches are open during regular hours. Whether you’d like to read, use a computer, attend a program, or simply enjoy a cool place to sit for a while, we’re here for you.

We could see the warmest temperatures of the season so far, this Tuesday and Wednesday. While exactly how hot it gets will depend on how much cloud cover we see, there is the potential for Heat Indices in the low 100s. Now is the time to make plans for extreme heat, especially if you have outdoor plans.

You may have spotted us out and about around Lincoln last weekend! We were at Archie’s birthday party at Morrill Hall, the Saltdogs game, the International Quilt Museum, and the Highlands Aquatics Center.

We love connecting with our community wherever we go, and summer is just getting started. Keep an eye out for Lincoln City Libraries at events across the city all season long!

Thanks to our friends at Edgerton Explorit Center, kids tested their owl vision, handled real feathers and wings, and met some impressive birds up close.

Catch this wild, educational experience today from 2:30–3:15 p.m. at Eiseley Branch Library!
