General Services
- Within the library, the use of every collection is free to all.
- Staff will provide information in the form of short answers
(research time 30 minutes or less) to specific questions for Seward
patrons who appear in person, call on the telephone, or request
information through mail or electronic means. Donations are appreciated
for research assistance provided to non-county residents, including
extended Internet or genealogical searches that will be completed as
staff time allows.
- Tax forms from the IRS and the Nebraska Department of Revenue
will be made available to the public. Forms received will be
distributed free of charge. If photocopies of forms or
publications are requested, the patron must pay the current charge per
copy. Printable forms are also available on the Internet at the
current charge per page printed.
- A paperback trade collection of donated books will be
maintained. Any individual is welcome to take out as many of
these paperbacks as they bring in. No check-out is involved, so
no library card is required.
- Elementary summer reading programs are available to any child
of the appropriate age group. A library card is encouraged, but
not required, for participation. (Preschool program attendees do need a
card.)
- Free Internet access is available to everyone, though all other
library guidelines, including copy charges, apply. Personal
devices may access the library's Internet connection only if current
requirements for technology protection measures are satisfied.
- Both black and color copies may be made by the public at the
current fee. Current copyright guidelines apply to all copies or
printouts made in the library.
- A typewriter is available at no cost for in-library use only.
- Public restroom facilities are available, including changing
tables for infants.
- Currently no public phone or FAX service is available at the
library.
- Hours Open
- The library will be open to the public a minimum
of 45 hours per week.
- The decision to close the library for special
events will be made by the Library Director and the President of the
Board.
- The Library Director may close the library because
of
storms or other problems and report the occasion at the next board
meeting.
- The library will be closed on the holidays which
are observed by the City of Seward and other days designated by the
Library Board. If December 24 and December 31 fall on a weekday,
the library will close at the time(s) specified by the Mayor.
