What's Your Vision?

The Lincoln City Libraries Board of Trustees has embarked on a Main Library Vision and Concept Study.

Heritage Room Featured in 2013 Nebraska Passport

Nebraska PassportThe Heritage Room of Nebraska Authors is one of 80 attractions included in the 2013 Nebraska Passport. The program, created by the Nebraska Tourism Commission, encourages travelers to explore the state. Participants collect stamps from participating attractions and then redeem them for prizes. The Heritage Room is on the third floor of the Bennett Martin Public Library, 136 S. 14th Street. Attractions selected for the 2013 program are organized into 10 special interest tours, and the Heritage Room is one of eight stops on the "Turn the Page" tour.

Nebraska Passports are available at the Heritage Room or the first floor service desk of Bennett Martin Public Library. Travelers have until Sept. 30 to visit attractions and redeem their stamps for prizes. For each completed tour, participants receive a Nebraska Passport t-shirt. Participants also will be entered into an October grand-prize drawing for an Apple® iPad® mini.

More information on the Nebraska Passport is available at  NebraskaPassport.com.
