 Elmwood Library Working to Improve Access

The library received another generous donation from the Elmwood Community Association!

This organization works to improve the community and include everyone in fun local family events. The ECA is always seeking new members, so be sure to inquire about helping out!

A generous donation from American Exchange Bank and also received a $3,000 grant from

Midlands Community Foundation. We hope that the project will be completed before the snow flies!

The Elmwood Library has identified a need in the community and is working to fulfill it. With an increased number of patrons in the community with mobility issues, the library board has decided to install an automated handicap door. Library Director Anne Pope said, “Currently if someone needs assistance to get into the library, they have to get the attention of a staff member to help hold the door. If we’re working in the back, or helping someone on a computer, employees might not immediately see that person needing help at the entrance. It makes us feel terrible to think that those persons have just as much right to utilize public space, but are dependent upon us to do so.”

“The monetary gifts that we’ve received so far were completely unsolicited,” said Mrs. Pope. “These groups heard we were working to make their library more accessible to people who have special needs. They came up to me and asked, ‘How can we help?’ It’s been amazing!”

If you or your organization would like to contribute to the project, the Elmwood Public Library is accepting donations. They can be reached at 402-994-4125 or by email at elmwoodlibrary@outlook.com. They the new doors can be installed this fall.
