Northeast library won't close
At one time in danger of being closed,
the Northeast Branch of the Lincoln City
Library may soon become a permanent
part of community life through the
efforts of the Clinton Neighborhood
Assoc., according to Eric Youngberg,
VISTA worker in the Clinton area.
Efforts are being made to remodel the
basement of the library building, 27th
and Orchard to house offices and a
community meeting room for the
neighborhood group, Youngberg said.
The library was built in 1909 and was
financed partially by the Carnegie
Foundation, one of many endowment
funds . established by steel magnate
Andrew Carnegie at the turn of the
century.
Five libraries financed
The foundation originally helped
finance five libraries in Lincoln, but only
two of the buildings remain and the
Northeast Branch is the only one still in
use as a library. The other, at 48th and
Prescott, now is owned by Union
College.
Gwen Peterson, Northeast Branch
librarian, said the city libraries' board of
directors planned to close the branch
three years ago, but members of the
neighborhood association successfully
petitioned to leave the building open,
primarily for use of children and elderly
people who might not be able to go to
another branch.
The Clinton area, which the library
serves, is bounded by 33rd, 18th and X
streets and by Cornhusker Highway.
Youngberg said the library's place in
the community still was "in limbo"
after the success of the petition, but he
said he believes the neighborhood
association's plans to remodel the
basement will remove any doubt the
library board may have about the
building's usefulness.
Volunteer painting Saturday
The east room of the basement
already has been emptied and cleaned,
he said, and will be painted by
volunteers Saturday if supplies are
available.
The room will be used by the
neighborhood group for meetings and
also will be open to the public as a
meeting space. Another room, now used
for storage, will be used as an office if
the library board approves, he said.
Although the neighborhood group
had considered using the basement for
more than a year, Youngberg said, the
formal decision to ask for the space was
not made until the end of September.
In October, the group presented the
remodeling plan to the Nebraska
American Revolution Bicentennial Com
mission for its endorsement, which
came in a letter Nov. 26, Youngberg
said. The group now will ask for
matching funds from the commission,
he said, and will also seek funds from
other sources.
Project presentation
Bonnie Crell, assistant director of the
Lincoln City Libraries, said the group's
request for funds from the commission
must be preceded by a presentation of
the project to the library board for its
consideration.
Youngberg said the library remodel
ing is part of the Clinton Neighborhood
plan, which won the 1974 Special Project
Award from the Nebraska Community
Improvement Program, a state project
administered through the Department
of Economic Development to encourage
community projects.
