[Z10516] Website The Beatrice City Library, built in 1902-3, is an outstanding example of the Beaux-Arts style, designed by architect George A. Berlinghof. The establishment of a permanent library was due to the efforts of the Beatrice Literary Club, founded in 1890, which continued the earlier efforts of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. In 1902 the library board obtained a $20,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie. A grand opening was held on January 1, 1904, to celebrate the new building's completion.

[LIB1567] Doane College has a rather extensive collection of archival materials housed within Perkins Library. College founders and early administrators were diligent in their preservation of important documents, photographs, and even some artifacts. Doane College and the city of Crete literally grew up together. The town was incorporated in 1871 and the College was incorporated in 1872. Thomas Doane and his group of cultivated New England Congregationalists joined Crete's early settlers, and together the town and college founders worked to ensure that economic and social advantages came to the city. Several documents in the archival collection related to Doane personalities also touch on Crete history since many of the community leaders were involved in both town and gown.

In the summer of 1881 the women took possession of the library of the Young Men’s Library Association. This woman’s group was incorporated in 1882 as the Ladies Library Association and they started to raise money for a library.At this time J. W. Steinhart, a cashier of the Otoe County Bank had an opportunity to visit with Joy Morton son of J. Sterling Morton in his Chicago Office. Mr. Steinhart told Mr. Morton about the struggles the women in Nebraska City were having in getting a library started.
