Library Madness competition Begins Monday

Once again, the Exeter Public Library is participating in Southeast Library System's "Library Madness" competition. Much like the NCAA basketball tournament, it is bracketed. Library Madness pits area libraries against one another, seeing who can tally the most checkouts each week. The checkouts are calculated per capita, so that smaller libraries are not at a disadvantage. Exeter Public Library will be competing as the "Exeter Eagles". Competition begins Monday, March 9. This is the third year of the event, and the Exeter Public Library has participated each of those three years.

The Southeast Library System (SELS) consists of all types of libraries in a 15-county region of southeast Nebraska. The organization serves libraries in the counties of Butler, Clay, Fillmore, Gage, Hamilton, Jefferson, Johnson, Lancaster, Merrick, Nemaha, Nuckolls, Otoe, Pawnee, Polk, Richardson, Saline, Saunders, Seward, Thayer, and York.
