‘Public Library Accreditation 2025’ Workshop Recording now available

The recording of the Nebraska Library Commission’s ‘Public Library Accreditation 2025’ online workshop is now available on the Accreditation webpage.

What is Nebraska Public Library Accreditation? What are the benefits of accreditation? How does my library become accredited? What’s a Community Needs Response Plan? Why does my library need one?

The purpose of Nebraska Public Library Accreditation is to encourage excellent library service in Nebraska communities. The guidelines used to evaluate libraries and their services are community-based, so libraries need to know their communities’ needs in order to provide appropriate library services that meet those unique needs. That’s where Community Needs Response Planning comes in!

In this workshop, Christa Porter, NLC’s Library Development Director, will guide you through Community Needs Response Planning and applying for Public Library Accreditation.

Public Library Directors, Staff, and Library Board Members are encouraged to attend.

If you have any questions or need any assistance with your Public Library Accreditation or Community Needs Response Planning, please contact Christa Porter, 800-307-2665, 402-471-3107.

Nebraska Arts Council announces special funding for Creative Aging Arts Programs in Nebraska Public Libraries

For more grants like this one, check out the NLC’s Grant Opportunities for Nebraska Libraries.

The Nebraska Arts Council is pleased to announce special funding, provided by the Medica Insurance Company, for Creative Aging Arts Programs (CAAP) in Nebraska public libraries beginning in summer 2025.

Public libraries throughout the state are invited to apply at Creative Aging Arts Program – Nebraska Arts Council.

NAC’s Creative Aging Arts Program (CAAP) provides older adults with creative and educational activities along with opportunities for socialization. CAAP’s core programming involves interactive artist residencies that are comprised of sequential workshops for participants who are 55 or older. Residencies are led by CAAP artists (painters, printmakers, writers, musicians, etc.) who have completed training in creative aging program development.

One of CAAP’s primary goals is to address the problem of isolation and loneliness that many older adults experience. There is a growing appreciation for how creative endeavors can invigorate communities and bring people together. CAAP serves to enhance the lives of our older adults and can help libraries achieve community outreach goals.

Apply for CAAP grants at least six weeks ahead. Grants cover most or all expenses. Funds are limited, and grants are processed first-come, first-served.

Questions? Contact Anne Alston or Joshua Brown at the Nebraska Arts Council.

NCompass Live: Sparking Community Connections: Rural Public Library Partnerships

Discover how partnerships can shape organizational views of rural public libraries on next week’s NCompass Live webinar, ‘Sparking Community Connections: Rural Public Library Partnerships’ on Wednesday, June 11 at 10am CT.

Why do local organizations, schools, and businesses partner with rural public libraries? Do these partnerships change the partner’s view of the library? After an initial partnership, are community organizations more likely to partner with the library again? These questions have preliminary answers backed by research findings. While public libraries have been shown to benefit from community partnerships, there is little data available on whether the partners also benefit. Discovering how partnerships can shape organizational views of rural public libraries grants insight into effective ways to approach possible partners.

Presenter: April Hernandez, Director, Latah County Library District, Moscow, ID.

Upcoming NCompass Live shows:

  • June 18 – Outreach at Any Size
  • June 25 – Nebraska Open Meetings Act: 2025 Overview and Update
  • July 9 – Printing, Scanning, and Faxing at the Library
  • July 30 – Pretty Sweet Tech

NCompass Live: Food for Thought: Addressing Food Waste, Access & Insecurity through Rural Libraries

Join us for ‘Food for Thought: Addressing Food Waste, Access & Insecurity through Rural Libraries’ on next week’s NCompass Live webinar on Wednesday, June 4 at 10am CT.

Imagine grocery shopping at a Dollar Store. That’s a reality for people living in rural food deserts. The Southern Adirondack Library System and the Comfort Food Community food pantry launched the Farm‐2‐Library initiative to reduce food waste by gleaning at local farms, distributing the produce through rural libraries where food scarcity, lack of food pantries, and transportation limit access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Since launching in 2017, we’ve shared more than 230,000 pounds of fresh produce, creating and deepening relationships with the community while fostering renewed interest in library services by previously reluctant users.

Presenters: Erica Freudenberger, Library Development Specialist, Division of Library Development, New York State Library and Jack Scott, Outreach and Technology Consultant, Southern Adirondack Library System.

Upcoming NCompass Live shows:

  • June 11 – Sparking Community Connections: Rural Public Library Partnerships
  • June 18 – Outreach at Any Size
  • June 25 – Pretty Sweet Tech
  • July 9 – Printing, Scanning, and Faxing at the Library

Fern V. Heim Trustee Scholarship: Applications Open!

Two logos side by side. On the left side, ARSL 2025 in blue text with a yellow and red hot air balloon on top of an orange rectangle with "Libraries Rise" in white letters. On the right side, blue text "Nebraska Library Association Annual Conference 2025" on top of larger blue text "Soaring to new heights" next to a blue and yellow hot air balloon.

Apply for an individual $500 scholarship to attend either the NLA 2025 Conference in York on October 22nd-24th or to the ARSL 2025 Conference in Albuquerque, NM on September 17th-20th!

The Fern V. Heim Scholarship for Trustees was established by her friend, Mary Louise Dutcher, to honor Fern’s dedication to small public libraries and their trustees. Although Fern’s library career began in special libraries (Head of the UNL Chemistry Department Library, Serials and Circulation Departments of UNL Love Library, and then Director of the Research Library at Goodrich Tire and Rubber in Akron, Ohio), her work at the Nebraska Library Commission was devoted to public libraries. Recognizing that few small library budgets could provide support for librarians, let alone their volunteer trustees, to attend professional meetings, she encouraged them to go whenever possible (at their own expense) if only for a portion of the meeting. As her legacy, it is fitting to assist those trustees through this scholarship program.

**This scholarship is open only to current Nebraska Public Library Board Members!**

The Fern V. Heim Scholarship Award was established to provide assistance to current public library trustees with preference to members of the Nebraska Library Association Public Library and Trustee Section (PLTS) for attendance to the Nebraska Library Association Conference or the Association for Rural and Small Libraries Conference.

Applications due by August 1, 2025!

NCompass Live: Libraries in Technology Innovation Ecosystems

What is a Technology Innovation Ecosystem? And what does it have to do with libraries? Find out on next week’s NCompass Live webinar on Wednesday, May 28 at 10am CT.

Technology Innovation Ecosystems exist to funnel tech resources towards solving problems in existing organizations, and towards entrepreneurial ventures striving to create the solutions that do not yet exist. These ecosystems are relatively new and best practices are still taking shape. When libraries host code clubs and 3D printer trainings, we are unwittingly contributing to this evolving innovation ecosystem. However, libraries don’t always take the next step to help individuals progress and practically apply those skills. “Coding” has also come a long way since the early days of code clubs. It’s not just website development anymore.

This session will help you:

  • Understand what a Technology Innovation Ecosystem is, and how they take shape.
  • Track current trends in Nebraska’s Ecosystem, and nationwide.
  • Brainstorm new library services to fill gaps within the Ecosystem.

The hope is that we will all start introducing technology with purpose, paired with tangible pathways to progress and practically apply skills in partnership with local businesses, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, universities, government agencies, and curious explorers within the community.

Upcoming NCompass Live shows:

  • June 4 – Food for Thought: Addressing Food Waste, Access & Insecurity through Rural Libraries
  • June 11 – Sparking Community Connections: Rural Public Library Partnerships
  • June 18 – Outreach at Any Size
  • June 25 – Pretty Sweet Tech
  • July 9 – Printing, Scanning, and Faxing at the Library

To register for an NCompass Live show, or to listen to recordings of past shows, go to the NCompass Live webpage.

NCompass Live is broadcast live every Wednesday from 10am – 11am Central Time. Convert to your time zone on the Official U.S. Time website.

The show is presented online using the GoTo Webinar online meeting service.
