En guard! It’s #BookFaceFriday!

On the fence about what to read this weekend? Why not check out one of the many titles about the Olympic Games and athletes available on Overdrive. This week’s #BookFace, “Proud: My Fight for an Unlikely American Dream” by Ibtihaj Muhammad with Lori Tharps, is the memoir of Olympic bronze medalist and Muslim American, Ibtihaj Muhammad. You can find this title as an Audiobook through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries, as well as her Young Readers Edition “Proud: Living My American Dream” which is available as both an eBook and Audiobook.

“Fencing made her who she is today, but fencing isn’t her only narrative. Her journey is one of authenticity at all costs and being unapologetically herself.”
