McCook City Library's Birdella Nelson Technology Center
Thanks to a generous donation from Sen. E. Benjamin Nelson, the Birdella Nelson Technology Center was established in honor of his mother - the person who inspired the Senator's love of reading and learning.
Technology Center Equipment
The Birdella Nelson Technology Center is an ever-evolving, ever-changing facility. Some pieces are already in place. Others are being considered and will soon be available, so check back.
If there is something you have used at another library or do-it-place that you would like to see in McCook, please let us know. The Technology Center is meant to feature forward-thinking equipment and ideas that will shape our future....and you can be part of that process.
