They use only the finest ingredients such as real maple syrup, Belgian dark chocolate, natural peanut butter and pure flavor extracts. They're so proud of their fudge that they guarantee it will arrive to you fresh and delicious.

Lincoln Library Named "5 Star Library for Public Service"

LINCOLN PUBLIC LIBRARY NAMED A 5 STAR LIBRARY FOR 2nd year for PUBLIC SERVICE
A recent survey by Library Journal magazine names the Lincoln Public Library as one of the best public libraries in the state.

The survey ranked libraries based on outputs such as circulation and program attendance, assigning Michelin Guide-like ratings or five, four or three stars. Out of 7,407 public libraries surveyed, 258 receive star ratings.

The Lincoln Public Library received five stars. “We are a community oriented library,” said Library Director Carol Riley. “We try to respond to our particular community, and the community uses the library. We have an very interactive staff that pays attention and welcomes every person who comes into the library,” "This is a testament to the residents of Lincoln who value the library and all of its services" she said.

She’s confident that the townspeople will continue to support the library, both by their use of the facility and financially. Membership in the Friends of the Lincoln Library is up, and the annual membership drive is currently in full swing, and now have over 160 members.

The Library Journal Index of Public Library Service, which was the magazine’s February issue cover story, measured four outputs --- circulation per capita, visits per capita, program attendance per capita, and public Internet use per capita --- based on 2008 data collected by the Institute of Museum and Library Science
