As a member of the NExpress [a joint service of the Northeast Kansas Library system and 23 other libraries], the Lyndon Carnegie Library’s automation system has upgraded to Koha ZOOM. ZOOM is an open-source integrated library system hosted and supported by LibLime.
Koha Zoom will allow patrons to see their circulation history, sort search results and easily request materials from either the NExpress Consortium or the state-wide Kansas Library Catalog. Library patrons will be able to use their current NExpress library cards. Try our new catalog today!

Our Library was fortunate enough to receive a grant announced by the Kansas State Historical Society. The Kansas Historic Sites Board of Review made recommendations of grants totaling $1,214,049 for 22 projects distributed across the state from the 2008 Heritage Trust Fund.
The Lyndon Carnegie Library will use the $60,480, which is a matching grant with the state providing 80%, to repair the building’s roof and guttering system.
Sixty-five eligible applications were reviewed, and many of those focused on roofing, repair of historic wood windows, building stabilization and masonry repair. The funded projects represent a diverse collection of properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places and Register of Historic Kansas Places.
This year’s funded projects include two churches, two Carnegie libraries, two stone schoolhouses, a stone bridge, courthouses, a mill, a cemetery and other projects.

Well it was a few years ago, but here is the Lyndon City Band sitting on the steps of the then new Library in 1911.
