We’re enjoying this #ThrowbackThursday in York!
We’re at the Nebraska Library Association conference in York this week, connecting with Nebraska’s librarians and Library staff!
This week’s highlight is a 14 x 9 cm. color postcard entitled “Public Library, York, Nebr.” in the top left in red type with an exterior view of the York Public Library in York, Nebraska. It is a red brick and stone building, one story with basement windows. Steps lead up to an arched front entrance and it is topped by two arched windows in a dormer over the entry. Above the entry are the words “Public Library.” There are windows on either side of the front entry and two large windows on the right side. A chimney protrudes from the back side of the roof. There is a lawn and sidewalk surrounding the building. In front is a small leafless tree. The library was located at 306 East 7th Street (the corner of 7th & Nebraska).
This image is published and owned by the Omaha Public Library. They have a large collection of 1,100+ postcards and photographs of the Omaha area.
See this collection and many more on the Nebraska Memories archive!
The Nebraska Memories archive is brought to you by the Nebraska Library Commission. If your institution is interested in participating in Nebraska Memories, see http://nlc.nebraska.gov/nebraskamemories/participation.aspx for more information.
I remember using this library when I was a child.
