Read About the Frontier on BARD!
“The Bullwhacker: Adventures of a Frontier Freighter” by William Francis Hooker is now available on cartridge and for download on BARD, the Braille and Audio Reading Download service. BARD is a service offered by the Nebraska Library Commission Talking Book and Braille Service and the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled at the Library of Congress.
Rough as a cob, the bullwhacker has never been romanticized, but his work was as essential as the cowboy’s, and perhaps more hazardous. Young William Hooker, who came west from Wisconsin to Wyoming Territory in the early 1870s, would not be disappointed in his search for exhilarating open-air adventure. Soon he was driving a team of oxen hauling supplies for army posts and Indian reservations far from the railroad. He cracked a bullwhip and kept a rifle ready as he delivered sugar, bacon, blankets, and other destinations along the old Cheyenne, Medicine Bow, and Sidney trails. And the thrilling stories he lived to tell! All true. About outlaws, rum runners, and collisions with Indians. About the feuding between bullwhackers and military officers. About exposure to every kind of varmint and the the fury of the elements. About the daily perils and pleasures of rumbling down some pretty primitive trails in the Old West.
TBBS borrowers can request “The Bullwhacker: Adventures of a Frontier Freighter” DBC02180 or download it from the National Library Service BARD (Braille and Audio Reading Download) website. If you have high-speed internet access, you can download books to your smartphone or tablet, or onto a flash drive for use with your player. You may also contact your reader’s advisor to have the book mailed to you on cartridge.
Throwback Thursday: Capitol Hardware Window Display
It’s #ThrowbackThursday, have you started your holiday shopping?
This week’s highlight is an exterior view at night of the display window of Capitol Hardware and Paints, located at 1447 O Street, Lincoln. Advertising for Sunbeam electrical appliances promotes a waffle baker, toaster, Mixmaster, iron (for $9.95), razor (for $15.90) and the appearance of “The Sunbeam Man” all day on Saturday.

According to Polk’s City Directory of Lincoln, 1947, Howard D. “Bill” Murrell owned Capitol Hardware and Paints which sold “Hardware, Paints, Appliances and Radios.”
This image is published and owned by the Townsend Studio, which has been in continuous operation since its foundation in 1888 in Lincoln, Nebraska. The studio holds a collection of glass plate and acetate negatives of early Lincoln and its residents.

Friday Reads and #BookFaceFriday – “Taste of Home: The Best Family Feast”
This combo #BookFace & #FridayReads is cooking up a great meal!
It’s that time of year again where we’re cooking big meals for family events, and sometimes that means being brave and trying new recipes. I found a simple solution with easy access to magazines on Nebraska OverDrive Libraries! “Taste of Home” just one of 4,615 English titles now available as an eBook from Nebraska OverDrive Libraries! Magazines do not count against a reader’s checkout limit of 6, and magazine issues may be checked out for 7, 14, or 21 days, depending on your library’s policy. Along with all the English-language titles, you have access to Spanish-language titles, and many other languages including French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Afrikaans, and Italian.
With 50+ recipes to choose from, it’s fun looking for something new to try in the kitchen. The issue has recipes for Thanksgiving classics such as a Favorite Dutch Apple Pie, Foolproof Gravy, and Parker House Rolls, along with some more fun and funky iterations like Oyster Stuffing, Dill Pickle Potato Salad, and Sweet Potato Coconut Pie with Marshmallow Meringue. However my favorite option is the Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake, a delicious looking combination of two of my favorite desserts. With the clear instructions that Taste of Home provides, I’m hoping to make a yummy dessert for my family to share on the holidays.
“Taste of Home is America’s #1 cooking magazine and your #1 recipe resource for delicious, family-favorite dishes! And you’ll love the variety—200+ easy recipes and tips in every issue will help make any occasion special, from everyday meals to holiday celebrations.”

The Antidote: A Novel Chosen as 2026 One Book One Nebraska
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
November 17, 2025
FOR MORE INFORMATION:
Tessa Timperley
402-471-3434
800-307-2665
The Antidote: A Novel Chosen as 2026 One Book One Nebraska
People across Nebraska are encouraged to read the work set in Nebraska—and then talk about it with their friends and neighbors. The Antidote: A Novel (Knopf, 2025) by Karen Russell is the 2026 One Book One Nebraska selection.
The Antidote is a historical fiction novel during the dust bowl, set in a fictional town in rural Nebraska.
Karen Russell’s The Antidote is a haunting Dust Bowl epic that blends historical fiction with magical realism. Set in 1930s Nebraska, the novel follows Antonina Rossi—known as “the Antidote,” a prairie witch who stores memories—and the Oletsky family as they endure the devastation of Black Sunday’s dust storm and the catastrophic flooding of the Republican River. Through interwoven narratives, Russell explores themes of memory, resilience, and survival amid environmental collapse, crafting a lyrical meditation on how communities confront trauma and corruption while clinging to hope.
Karen Russell is the author of six books of fiction, including the New York Times bestsellers Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove. She is a MacArthur Fellow, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. She has received two National Magazine Awards for Fiction, the Shirley Jackson Award, the 2023 Bottari Lattes Grinzane Prize, and the 2024 Mary McCarthy Prize. The Antidote is a finalist for the National Book Award and a national bestseller. She serves on the board of Street Books, a mobile library for people living outdoors. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, she lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, son, and daughter.
Libraries across Nebraska will join other literary and cultural organizations in planning book discussions, activities, and events that will encourage Nebraskans to read and discuss this book. Support materials to assist with local reading/discussion activities will be available after January 1, 2026 at http://onebook.nebraska.gov. Updates and activity listings will be posted on the One Book One Nebraska Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/onebookonenebraska.
2026 will mark the twenty-second year of the One Book One Nebraska reading program, sponsored by the Nebraska Center for the Book. It encourages Nebraskans across the state to read and discuss one book, chosen from books written by Nebraska authors or that have a Nebraska theme or setting. The Nebraska Center for the Book invites recommendations for One Book One Nebraska book selection year-round at http://centerforthebook.nebraska.gov/obon-nomination.asp.
One Book One Nebraska is sponsored by Nebraska Center for the Book, Humanities Nebraska, and Nebraska Library Commission. The Nebraska Center for the Book brings together the state’s readers, writers, booksellers, librarians, publishers, printers, educators, and scholars to build the community of the book, supporting programs to celebrate and stimulate public interest in books, reading, and the written word. The Nebraska Center for the Book is housed at and supported by the Nebraska Library Commission.
As the state library agency, the Nebraska Library Commission is an advocate for the library and information needs of all Nebraskans. The mission of the Library Commission is statewide promotion, development, and coordination of library and information services, “bringing together people and information.”

#BookFaceFriday – “Victorian Psycho” by Virginia Feito
Happy Halloween #BookFaceFriday!
It’s a #BookFace bloodbath! If you’re still looking for a Halloween read consider checking out the suspenseful thriller “Victorian Psycho” by Virginia Feito (Liveright, 2025), a riveting tale of a bloodthirsty governess who learns the true meaning of vengeance. This title is available as an eBook and Audiobook in Nebraska OverDrive Libraries and is a part of the curated collection, “Scare Up a Good Book: Horror and dark reads.” Find your perfect horror read in this collection of over 250 titles, available all October.
“Sleek, deadly and paced like a runaway train, Feito’s novel is an absolutely delectable mashup of horror sensibilities, and one of 2025’s must-read genre releases. …At just 200 pages, Victorian Psycho is lean, lithe and clear in its purpose and its violent delights. It’s a book you can easily finish in a single sitting, yet Feito’s prose is so dense with meaning and subtlety that you may just pick it right back up again.”
