Tag Archives: The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules

This #BookFace is almost as old as the NLC!

Join us in celebration on this #BookFaceFriday! Today the Nebraska Library Commission is marking a major milestone with 125 years of strengthening libraries, expanding access to information, and supporting lifelong learning across the state. Established by an act of the Legislature on March 27, 1901 as the Nebraska Public Library Commission, the Commission has grown from a small state agency into a statewide leader in library development, training, and resource sharing.

Sharing in our old age, we’re highlighting “The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules” by internationally-bestselling author Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg (HarperCollins, 2017), a witty and insightful comedy about a group of delinquent seniors who decide to rob a nearby luxury hotel as a way to regain their independence and improve their quality of life. What was supposed to be a simple robbery quickly spirals into something much more wild! It’s available as a as an ebook and audiobook through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries.

“This good-natured outing will appeal to readers interested in a story about spirited seniors determined have fun, raise some hell, and cause more than a little menace during their so-called ‘mature’ years.”

— Booklist
