Made with a laser cutter:
|
The Laser Cutter Has Arrived!The library has been raising funds for a laser cutter since March 2018. Though it was ordered in November, it was backordered and finally arrived on January 2! It was installed and staff were retrained on January 10. Since the machine is a little larger than the one used last winter, library staff will offer short refreshers for anyone who’s used the machine before. Please call the library, 402-296-4154, ext. 24, to schedule training for new users or returning users. The laser cutter can be used by anyone who has been trained. You don’t need to have a library card or even live in Plattsmouth to use it. It can be used for personal or business purposes, so think about how you might benefit from the opportunity! As of January 24, funding is about $500 away from the $17,315 goal for the laser cutter, software, and supplies. Thanks to Midlands Community Foundation for a $3000 grant, the Friends of the Library and the Library Foundation for contributing $1000 each, and the following individuals and businesses for their donations.
Checks made out to the library or to the Plattsmouth Public Library Foundation can be mailed to Plattsmouth Public Library, 401 Avenue A, Plattsmouth, NE 68048. You may also donate online through Network for Good, with the option of donating anonymously. These funds will only be used for the laser cutter and its supplies; they will not be used for any other purpose. If you have any questions, contact Karen Mier at 402-296-4154 x23 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Visit Our Patio!The library has a patio in the back of the building! It was constructed between June 27 and July 5, 2012, with bricks from Main Street, and is shaded by a pergola. You can see how the patio took shape by looking at these pictures. It was made possible with a grant from the Cass County Visitors Promotion Committee and donations from the Plattsmouth Public Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library. The city donated the bricks. It's a great place to stop and read a book or to listen to storytime, at least when the weather is nice. Thanks to Midwest Outdoor Design for installing it. |
