Prime Time Archives
Prime Time Family Reading Time, featuring award-winning illustrated children’s books, is designed to encourage parents and children to read and discuss humanities topics and aids them in selecting books and becoming active public library users.
It is based on a successful series that was founded in 1991 by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities and spread to surrounding states with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). More than 7,000 people have participated in more than 200 Prime Time sessions in 32 states and the Virgin Islands.
The Nebraska Humanities Council has offered Prime Time sessions since 2002, when the NHC first collaborated with Lincoln Public Libraries to bring the program to the Capital City. Since then it has been offered in many towns statewide, including Omaha, Schuyler, Scottsbluff, South Sioux City, Lexington, Grand Island, Columbus, Crete, Hastings, Norfolk, and Gibbon.
