Lincoln City Libraries has changed the start time for its storytimes for children with special needs. The free programs on the third Thursday of each month will now begin at 6:30 p.m. and will continue to end at 7 p.m. The sessions at the Bennett Martin Public Library, 136 S. 14th Street, provide a more controlled environment, and are best suited for children 2 to 8 years of age. The next three events are May 16, June 20 and July 18. Preregistration is not required.
In addition to books, singing and flannel boards, these sessions will incorporate sensory activities beyond sight and sound. The program is conducted away from distractions and offers an adjoining room in case participants need a quiet space.
Libraries Host Free Stop the Bleed Classes in May

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. Classes are limited to 20 participants each. Call 402-441-8503 to register.
The training schedule is as follows:
- Thursday, May 2, 6:30 p.m., Anderson Branch Library, 3635 Touzalin Avenue
- Monday, May 6, 2 p.m., Eiseley Branch Library, 1530 Superior Street
- Friday, May 17, 10:30 a.m., Walt Branch Library, 6701 S. 14th Street
- Wednesday, May 22, 6:30 p.m., Gere Branch Library, 2400 S. 56th Street
According to the American College of Surgeons, citizen responders will almost always be first on the scene of an emergency medical situation, no matter how quickly professional emergency responders arrive. Because an injured person can die from blood loss within minutes, those nearest to someone with life threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care.
The training program is presented by the City of Lincoln Risk Management Division and Bryan Health. Training is appropriate for teens and adults and lasts about an hour.
More information on Stop the Bleed is available at bleedingcontrol.org.
