News Release

NORTH WEBSTER — The North Webster Community Public Library is proud to announce the loan of model boats and antique boat motors from local residents Jerry and Nancy Neibert. Jerry Neibert, a skilled woodworker, handcrafts each model boat from scratch, showcasing his expertise and passion for maritime history.

The Neiberts have generously contributed their collection to the library, which includes intricately detailed model boats and three antique boat motors. These items offer a unique insight into marine craftsmanship as well as local boating history.
