Genealogists and other patrons of the Archives/Library Reference Room at the Nebraska State Historical Society will be very happy to learn that the library will be reopening soon. From the NSHS web site:

"After fourteen months of construction and renovation, the Library/Archives Reference Room will reopen to researchers on Tuesday, March 9th. Our regular hours remain Tuesday-Friday, 9:00-12:00 and 1:00-4:00; and Saturday, 8:00-5:00.

While the Reference Room is slightly smaller, bathrooms have been added nearby. We thank you for your patience during the long construction phase and look forward to providing you with the research materials that you need"

A new leaflet for genealogists is available at http://www.nebraskahistory.org/lib-arch/flyer.pdf
