Take the plunge with #BookFaceFriday!
The Nebraska Library Commission is in the process of updating Nebraska’s LSTA state program! This week we welcomed Sally Reed to meet with staff, Commissioners, Regional Systems Directors, and SACL members as she works on our five-year program evaluation. So this week’s #BookFaceFriday is spreading the library love with “The Library at the Edge of the World: A Novel” by Felicity Hayes-McCoy (Harper Perennial, 2017). It’s available as an eBook and Audiobook in the Nebraska OverDrive Libraries. Every five years the Nebraska Library Commission is required to conduct an evaluation of its implementation of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) “Grants to States” program. The LSTA Grants to States Program is a federal program that provides funding to each state based on a population‐driven formula.
“The spot-on descriptions of Ireland’s country roads and expansive sky all but leap off the page and provide the true joy of Hayes-McCoy’s first novel…. Maeve Binchy and Patrick Taylor fans will find much to enjoy.”
― Booklist
