Foundation Update

Transition proved to be the unmistakable theme for OPL and the Omaha Public Library Foundation (OPLF) in 2022.

W. Dale Clark Main Library closed its doors in August, with an Interim Branch now serving patrons near 14th and Howard streets. Construction at the new Downtown Branch at 1401 Jones Street continues. Local history and genealogy materials moved to 84th and Frederick streets. Add to this, plans for a new central library at 72nd and Dodge streets. At the OPLF, we have been active and engaged with these changes each step of the way. Also worth noting… OPLF hosted a recordsetting annual fundraiser in September with “Just Mercy” author Bryan Stevenson, raising nearly $90,000 for OPL.

The private dollars raised each year are only possible through the support of donors
