The Community
North Platte Nebraska is a great place to live, work, and raise a family in the heart of the United States. If you like a medium sized community, wide open spaces, a place with a home-town feel, yet still close to a large metro area for a weekend get-away, then our community is just the place for you!
North Platte is located 225 miles east of Denver Colorado and 225 west of Lincoln, Nebraska and has a population of 24,736.
The North Platte Public Library has a total budget of $1.2 million dollars and a staff of 18.
The Young Adult department currently offers Teen Cafe (a weekly hour-long program for teens); Lunch Bunch (outreach program into the middle schools during the school year); and a Summer Reading Program for teens.
We are hoping to find a great individual to keep this programming going, as well as incorporate makerspace activities into the programming and collaborate with the Mid-Plains Community College Student Success Center to keep teens through young professionals using the public library.
