Commission approves temporary alcohol permit for library art event

Atchison City Commission · August 24, 2026

Summary

The Atchison City Commission unanimously approved Resolution 34-58, allowing the Friends of the Atchison Public Library to serve alcoholic beverages at a Sept. 15 art-and-author event; staff reported no objections and reminded organizers of the state's 10-day notice requirement.

The Atchison City Commission on Tuesday approved Resolution 34-58 to permit alcoholic liquor service at an art-and-author event hosted by the Friends of the Atchison Public Library.

City staff explained the group may serve alcohol as an unlicensed nonprofit if it obtains a temporary state permit and local approval; staff said the organization must notify the state 10 days before the event. "The event is scheduled for September 15, so our regularly scheduled meeting would be too late," staff noted during the presentation, and staff reported no concerns with the request.

A commissioner moved and the motion was seconded. The mayor called for a voice vote; commissioners responded "aye" and the motion carried. The event is scheduled to run from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Atchison Public Library.
