Like a #BookFace Cowboy!

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo, this week’s #BookFaceFriday is sure to get you in the mood for the Nebraska State Fair or your county rodeo! “Shane” by Jack Schaefer (University of Nebraska Press, 1984) is a classic teen and YA western revolving around the Starrett family and the titular Shane’s arrival on their farm and how he shapes their lives. It’s available as an eBook and audiobook on through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries and is also available as a book club kit through the Nebraska Library Commission. The novel is also part of the Nebraska Publications Clearinghouse, which receives documents every month from all Nebraska state agencies, including the University of Nebraska Press (UNP). UNP books, as well as all Nebraska state documents, are available for checkout by libraries and librarians for their patrons.

“If you read only one Western in your life, this is the one.”

— (Roland Smith, author of the Peak Marcello adventure novels)
