Welcome to StoryWalk®at Fairbury City Park

A Storywalk® combines physical activity with books to help build children’s interest in reading while encouraging healthy activity for all! It begins on the southeast side of the Frontier Fun Park near the gravel parking lot. From there, follow the story by walking around the circle!

New at the Storywalk®: Look for the letters on the book pages. String them together to learn the Storywalk Phrase. When you know the phrase, come to the library, tell a librarian, and get a small prize!

Now Featured:

After hearing about the total solar eclipse happening in two months, a boy makes a plan with his father to go see it. They drive to the perfect campsite, not wanting to miss the couple of minutes when the sun will be completely hidden by the moon. When the moment happens, being together makes it even more special.

Free Program at the Bonham Theatre!
     Monday, March 25th, 7-8pm NASA Ambassador Bob Kavinsky will present a program about the upcoming Solar Eclipse!

Sponsored by the Fairbury Public Library, Mr. Kavinsky will give an update on the April 8th total solar eclipse with guidance on how to observe the partial eclipse here in Nebraska. He will also show some highlights from the James Webb Space Telescope.

And all on the big screen!

Following the program, everyone will receive a pair of solar eclipse safe viewing glasses. Children will receive an activity book or coloring pages to take home!

Would you like to explore historic editions of the Fairbury Journal-News from the comfort of your home with just your library card? Well, now you can!

The Library is partnering with Newspaper Archives to digitize old issues of the newspaper currently available on microfilm that will then be available through our library’s subscription.

The project was initiated, and partially funded, by a former Fairbury resident. This is not a library funded project, so the  remainder of the funds need to be raised through private donations. If you would like to help, donations can be made to the Fairbury Public Library Foundation and dropped off at the library.
