Quarterly Report of <br /> t:N Household Library Cards <br /> x <br /> t <br /> Issued to Hall County Residents <br /> Grand Island Outside of Grand Island <br /> Public Library <br /> APRIL- JUNE 2026 <br /> To Hall County Board of Supervisors: <br /> As of July 1, 2026 there are a total of 1,468 Head of Household Hall County patron accounts. We <br /> added 9 new Head of Household accounts this past quarter between April 1 and June 30, 2026; 13 <br /> Head of Household Accounts were deleted; 32 cardholders were modified from other borrower <br /> types due to moving/change of address. 19 moved to/from other patron types. This results in a net <br /> gain of 15 accounts from the previous report of 1,453 HCH accounts. <br /> Our automated reporting of household cards is based on one member of each household manually <br /> coded as "head of household" no matter how many in the household have cards. <br /> The library continues to promote to all Hall County residents that they can get their Library card <br /> for free. The Grand Island Public Library also is fine-free. The library provides online services <br /> available from www.gilibrary.org. We have added additional services with Newbank. People can <br /> login with their library card and pin and read the Independent. It is the printed version. You can <br /> also read USA Today, and Lincoln and Omaha newspapers, plus some other communities for free. <br /> The library's 2026 Summer Reading Program theme is "Unearth a Story" and there are programs <br /> for all ages. Check it out at www.gilibrary.org. Patrons can log their reading minutes on Beanstack. <br /> You can earn rewards and chances for prizes. We also have a new Library to Museum Program <br /> where adult patrons with a card in good standing can check out a family pass to go to Stuhr <br /> Museum, Imagination City Children's Museum, or Epic Discovery Center.
