“Nebraska Volleyball: The Origin Story” by John Mabry, foreword by Jordan Larson, 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.

The compelling book tells the story of how Nebraska volleyball began with players fundraising just to afford uniforms and grew into one of the most dominant programs in NCAA history. Author John Mabry follows the team’s rise through legendary coaches, standout local athletes, and increasing statewide support.

With five national championships and sold out crowds at every game, Nebraska’s volleyball program is a powerful example of the impact of women’s sports. As Karch Kiraly, head coach for the U.S. National Women’s Volleyball team, said, “If you want to learn about women’s college volleyball, your first stop has to be Lincoln, Nebraska.”
