Lincoln City Libraries will host four free Stop the Bleed training classes in May. The courses coincide with Stop the Bleed Month, a nationwide campaign to highlight emergency first aid training.

Lincoln City Libraries invites the public to a free presentation Sunday, April 28, by Jeff Korbelik, author of Lost Restaurants of Lincoln, Nebraska. The event will be at 2 p.m. in the fourth floor auditorium of the Bennett Martin Public Library, 136 S. 14th Street. Free on-street parking is available downtown on Sundays.

Korbelik, a longtime Lincoln Journal Star restaurant critic, will share stories and photos of popular local restaurants, including Miller and Paine, P.O. Pears, and Tastee Inn. The presentation is part of the John H. Ames Reading Series sponsored by Lincoln City Libraries and its Heritage Room of Nebraska Authors.

The Heritage Room of Nebraska Authors is a service of Lincoln City Libraries, supported by the Nebraska Literary Heritage Association and Foundation for Lincoln City Libraries.

The Bethany Branch Library, 1810 N. Cotner Boulevard, remains closed until further notice for roof repair work. The branch will be reopened as soon as possible.

Library materials that were being held for pickup at Bethany Branch can be picked up at Anderson Branch Library instead, and Library events scheduled at Bethany Branch will be held at Anderson Branch.
