Books to Borrow

12,000 books and counting. We have board books for the little ones, early readers, juvenile, teen AND adult books. We always strive to keep the newest releases among our collection and if we don't have it yet, we can probably get it- just ask. 

We have summer "beach reading" paperbacks to borrow and used books for sale.

Similar to a library, you have to be a member to take out books, but it only takes a minute to sign up. You do not have to be a Lincoln resident and we do not have late fees. All we ask is that you bring your borrowed books back before you take out new books.

 Summer Reading Program

Each year, we hold a themed summer reading program. The goal of this program is to promote reading among children, particularly during the summer months. Participants are required to read a certain number of books and complete accompanying journals (age-based). Prizes are given out as rewards for completing these journals. At the end of the program, the student will be registered for our "Back to School Bash," an event the FLC has hosted for the past 17 years. Here, students will receive their reading certificates and other prizes. Stop by or call us for more information.
