#BookFaceFriday “Killer of Enemies”
Double trouble #BookFaceFriday fans!
Today’s #BookFace is both a book club kit title and the 2018 One Book for Nebraska Teens selection! We got creative with “Killer of Enemies” by Joseph Bruchac (Tu Books, 2016) and used the back of the book instead of the cover. We just couldn’t resist it’s BookFace perfection. It’s available for your teens’ to borrow as a book club kit through your library!
“A post-Apocalyptic YA novel with a steampunk twist, based on an Apache legend.”
Joseph Bruchac is a highly acclaimed Abenaki children’s book author, poet, novelist and storyteller, as well as a scholar of Native American culture.
This week’s #BookFace model is our new Technology Innovation Librarian, Amanda Sweet!

#BookFaceFriday “Re-Gifters”
Happy #BookFaceFriday from the Nebraska Library Commission!
I love this week’s #BookFace. It’s fun and festive, and since we don’t have a pile of presents here at the office, Aimee Owen volunteered the use of the pile under her tree. I also love that we get to highlight our amazing collection of Young Adult Book Club Kits. “Re-Gifters” written by Mike Carey, and illustrated by Marc Hempel and Sonny Liew (Minx Books, 2007) is a great example! This graphic novel follows Korean American teenager Dixie through LA’s Koreatown. It’s a well-developed characters, plot, and setting make it perfect for dedicated comic readers and those new to the genre.
