One program encourages children to read to Capone, a Shar pei-Rottweiler mix, on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. Capone is a registered threapy animal. Capone has been trained and tested for health, safety, appropriate skills, and temperament. He will sit patiently while a child reads to him. To schedule a time with Capone, contact the library staff.
The 100-year old building is in need of some sprucing up. A number of issues have been addressed, but more items on the punch list remain to be completed. The library is seeking donations to help cover the cost of the restoration and repairs. More than simply books and CDs, the Plattsmouth library offers programs for children and adults. Guest
