The library is now open our regular hours: Monday-Thursday 10-7; Friday 10-6; and Saturday 9-1. We are still asking that patrons wear a mask, respect social distancing, and limit the number of people in their party who enter the library. A limited number of computers will be available for one 30 minute session/day. Masks required for children computer users. We will continue to offer curb side service. Call ahead (402-729-2843) or use our online catalog, https://fairbury.biblionix.com/catalog/, to reserve materials.
Now is still a great opportunity to take advantage of our electronic resources. E-books and audiobooks can be downloaded from Overdrive, audiobooks and magazines can be downloaded from RBDigital , and you can learn a new language from Mango. All you need is your library card number. Please call (402-729-2843) us if you have questions about accessing these resources, or anything else, during this time.
Would you like to explore historic editions of the Fairbury Journal-News from the comfort of your home with just your library card? Well, by early next year, you will have that opportunity!
The Library is partnering with Newspaper Archives to digitize old issues of the newspaper currently available on microfilm that will then be available through our library’s subscription.
The project was initiated, and partially funded, by a former Fairbury resident. This is not a library funded project, so the remainder of the funds need to be raised through private donations. If you would like to help, donations can be made to the Fairbury Public Library Foundation and dropped off at the library.
