 Good morning, and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host Krista Porter here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the Commission's weekly webinar series where we cover a variety of topics that may be of interest to libraries. We broadcast the show live every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. Central Time, but if you're unable to join us on Wednesdays, that's fine. We do record the show every week as we are doing today. And the recording will be available later on our website for you to watch at your convenience. And I'll show you at the end of today's show how where you can access all of our recordings. Both the live show and the recordings are free and open to anyone to watch. So please do share with your friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, anyone you think might be interested in any of the topics we have at Encompass Live. The Nebraska Library Commission being the state agency for all libraries in Nebraska means we are similar to your state library. We provide services and training and resources to all types of libraries, so you will find shows on Encompass Live for all types of libraries. Public, academic, k-12, corrections, museums, archives. Really, our only criteria is that it's something to do with libraries. We do book reviews, interviews, many training sessions, demos of services and products, all sorts of things. We have Nebraska Library Commission staff that do presentations for us for programs and resources we offer through the commission, and we also have guest speakers that come on. And today we have a combo of that. Today we're talking about the 2023, our new one book, One Nebraska, The Mystery of Hunting's End. And with us today is Tessa Terry, who's the communications coordinator here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Good morning, Tessa. Good morning. And Christine Walsh, who is the Nebraska Center for the Book President and Director at Yes. Assessment. Yeah, that's what I'm looking at here. Yeah. And we may have a another presenter we're waiting to see. We'll wait and see if our third one gets connected and working on that. So I will just hand it over to you all, Christine and Tessa, to talk about our new book for the year. I'm actually really excited about it. I have not read it before or anything, but it sounds really interesting. It is fun. And it's an exciting process. Just a little bit about the Nebraska Center for the Book. Anyone is welcome to join that for a very small fee. We have all kinds of events and activities throughout the year. The goal of the Center for the Book is to encourage that community of writers, writers, booksellers, librarians, book lovers to be in conversation, to support and lift up those literary arts. So please feel free to join and get onto the Nebraska Center for the Book website. If you want more information or reach out to myself or Tessa and we can certainly get you connected with more information on any of that. We have an active board and we meet four times a year to work on a variety of projects, one of which is One Book, One Nebraska. So we'll hear more about that today. But it is great to be a part of this project and I believe we're in our 19th year. Is that right, Tessa? It is, yeah. I was just double checking that on the website. But yeah, next year will be our 20th year. I will have to do something big for that. Yes, sounds special. Sounds good. Well, I usually let Becky take over talking about the One Book, One Nebraska program in general. She is on the board for that program and on the selection committee. So she knows it very well. But I can give us a quick overview. Every year, the selection committee, we get nominations and we have a group of people who read all the nominations and rank them and try to decide what narrow down to like the top four or five books. And from there, we pick a winner based on board numbers, both that believe. And so this year, we picked The Mystery of Huntington's End by Mignon Eberhardt. And it was originally published in 1930 and then reprinted by University of Nebraska Press, which is the copy that we have in our book club kits and that I think is widely available on Amazon and things like that or in bookshops today. Even when they reprinted it, they've got a nice little feel on it. This is One Book, One Nebraska, which is really fun part of the cover art. So that's not a sticker. That was some that's just actually the book art and then a reprint of it for just for us. So that's really kind of fun. And Becky leads the committee and has done so with great passion for years. So she keeps us coordinated. Obviously, we're going right in Tessa, but keeps us on track because I think nominations close about the middle of June and by September, we've got to narrow down to three books. Exactly. Yeah. It's quite a process. I mean, off the top of my head, I can't remember how many were nominated last year, but usually upwards of what, 20 to 30 books are nominated. And so that's a lot of tiles for the committee to read and sort through and try to figure out what would be the best option for the next year's book. And we'll talk more about the nomination process a little bit later as well. Oh, hang on. There's Becky. Hold on a second. Awesome. Hello, Becky. You made it. Am I on? There you are. Yes. Alrighty. Great. You have a camera that you want to share on there? I do not. Three different devices to get here. So. Okay. No problem. We don't want to throw you into the deep end, but we were just chatting a little bit about the selection committee. And can you give people a little bit of an overview about your work leading that selection committee for One Book One Nebraska? Yes. The nominations, of course, come from the public. And as we begin to go through the nominations after June 15th, we are verifying that books are by a Nebraska author or that they have a Nebraska theme or setting and then also verifying that they are in print and readily available to readers. So once we have been able to verify those aspects, then we have a list to operate from. And we work with a committee of usually five to seven readers who go through and start reading the book. We do about three rounds of reading with every round we're asking for response and being able to narrow the pool down. This year, I believe we had 27 books that we were operating from. Of course, we're pulling out duplicates. A book only has to be nominated by one person to be under consideration. But I believe we had 27 when we started the first round of reading. And then we work to come down to a short list. And our short list for this year had four books. And those were the Nebraska POW camps, a history of World War II prisoners in the heartland, Havens Wake, The Plain Sense of Things, and The Mystery of Hunting's End. This short list is announced. It's publicized. The public does see it. And then the full board votes on the finalists. And from there, we have our selection for the one book, One Nebraska. We've got a siren happening outside the commission. So I have to bear with it a little bit. It's just the tornado testing. There's not an actual anything happening. Tornado siren tests every Wednesday morning. So we mentioned this a little bit before, but this is our 19th year of doing one book, One Nebraska, the state program. And here we've got a list of all the books we have chosen over the past years. And yeah, with next year being our 20th year, it'll have to be a little something special to do a few extra extra things around that, won't we guys? Absolutely. Good list of books. And we have so many book clubs across the state that read the one book, One Nebraska every year, and they get a part of their just normal book club group. And they've just gotten a chance to read some books that maybe I wouldn't normally pick up because of this program. But that's one of my favorite things about it. So we're going to jump into the Mystery Punching Zend and what it's about. Becky, do you want to talk about that a little bit just about the book in general? Well, the book was published in 1930. So it's a book that has been around for a while. And Mignon Eberhardt does have some strong followers in the state of Nebraska. She was born in Lincoln. She attended Nebraska Wesleyan and was a very prolific writer, wrote almost 60 books during her career. But the Mystery of Hunting Zend is one of the early ones, as I said, published in 1930. It's set in Valentine, Nebraska, during a blizzard. And there is a group of guests who have come to a family lodge. And this is a visit that these people had made five years earlier. And at that time, their host was, he mysteriously died during that gathering. And so now five years later, this follow up visit, we find that some of the guests are mysteriously dying. So the core of the book is discovering who the murderer is and what the motivation is for the two deaths that take place during this second visit. So it is a true who done it in that aspect. Two of the major characters in the book, Sarah Keat, who's a nurse, and Lance O'Leary, who is a detective, appear in this book, they know each other, they have some kind of friendship that has been established through previous contact. And it falls to the two of them to work together to find out exactly what's going on as the Mystery of Hunting Zend. Yeah, it's a really fun. Mystery novels are just so popular. And I had to look it up with this particular type of mystery is called, but they call it a closed circle mystery, where you know it's a group, you know, what group of people the murderer is from, like, nived out or clue, things like that, where you have a group of people, and you know, one of them is the murderer, but you don't know which one. So just a really fun idea. And the idea that, you know, this has been a new mystery idea. This is from 1930. And we get to re-experience it now. So our next slide is about the one book website and everything involved in that. So I was just going to pull up our website. It's got a lot of great information on it about the one book program, but specifically about the Mystery of Hunting Zend. You can learn a little bit more about this book and specifically, but also about Mignon Eberhardt. And we also have a list of all of her books on here, which is really interesting to see just how prolific of a writer she was and how often she published books. I mean, it's just fascinating. Two books a year almost. Yeah, I was going to say multiple books a year. But we have some links for other great information you can find on here. And I get involved page where you can find a copy of your book, of the book at one of the public libraries across the state. So you can check it out. We have links so you can borrow book club kit from the Breast Library Commission or from your regional library systems. They also have book club kits available for this. And one of my favorite things that we have this year is a list of personalized discussion questions for your book club kits that came from Rick Seifert. He is a Wesleyan University professor who wrote a biography about Mignon Eberhardt. So he's very knowledgeable and he just wrote these very specific questions for readers feel to have some great discussion about this book. We also have a Facebook page you can produce that we'll be posting things on like we posted about this event today. If there are any events going across going out across the state, we'll post some information about them as we find it. There's actually event going on tonight or this afternoon, right after this at Lincoln City Libraries has their lunch at the library event at Bennett Martin is Rick Seifert talking about the mystery of hunting zen. So if this is just making you even more interested and you're in Lincoln right now, you can pop over for that. So we have some things we offer for you other than just the book club kit. We've got bookmarks that we can send you for at the library just to hand out to anybody who is interested and wants to read the book just as a reminder that this program is going on. And then we have posters available, book club kits, and I was going to let Christie talk a little bit about book club kits because then she works in the library and they have book clubs that check out our book club kits and the One Book One Nebraska. Sounds good. We do. Carney Public Library has an extensive collection of book club kits which can be borrowed through us through the regional library systems or we have about eight copies of each title in each of our bags and those are all listed on our website but we always have at least one bag and usually two of the One Book One Nebraska selection so that local book clubs can certainly engage in reading that book but we always do it with our library sponsored book club and that is just a lot of fun. It engages people in the One Book One Nebraska program and we try to have the company speakers come in throughout the year to support that so people learn more about maybe it's the setting or the author or the the history of the circumstances of the book and it's been a real treat over the years to host Karen Shoemaker and Donna CG and have them come because it just brings the book alive and then the readers if they've already read the book and asked those burning questions what is it you wanted to ask the author or why did the author set it in this particular place and to be able to engage one on one is just a great experience so I would encourage you to invite those authors to come and if there are humanities Nebraska speakers that are also related to that because Humanities Nebraska has been a great supporter of the One Book One Nebraska program over the years. Reach out and invite those people to come to your library and speak because it just enriches the whole experience and then we find that once we've done it here as a book club for the library one word gets out throughout the community it's like oh maybe we should do that too because people start talking more and more so I'm excited to reach out to Rick's and see if he will come out to Carney and give her presentation or maybe we can do it virtually for us it's also fun to build additional programs so we are talking about maybe doing some more mystery featured programs and those locked room stories that this is one of or maybe just talking about those fabulous writers like Mary Roberts Reinhardt and Agatha Christie and Mignon that all are of that era and certainly were the pillars of that genre that's the right way to put it but certainly the leading ladies of those mysteries so we just try to push it out just as much as we possibly can and I don't think our book club bag is arrived yet actually it's checked out to our book club and then after the middle of March when we discuss it will be out there for the general public to use so it is a lot of fun and it's great to be able to borrow things from the library commission too because if we just have one book club bag and we find another group in town wants to use it then we can reach out to the commission and borrow that second bag especially the one book one Nebraska selections how many people do you have in your library sponsored book club um 20 to 25 on a regular basis so it's a good group and people are game to read we do a wide variety of things not everybody loves everything but there's always a respectful discussion and like with any book club or any book you read um it introduces you to new ideas and style of writing and maybe you find something unexpected that you would never have come across before if you have been participating in that program yeah Becky can you talk a little bit about the purpose of one book one Nebraska for starting those kinds of conversations well if i can i'd like to to say one thing first before that i just to piggyback on what christie was saying i was thinking about activities with people the board game clue is very much centered around this kind of what you're calling a circular mystery and even showing the movie clue or the movie murder on the orient express which is agatha christie um they're both connected with that so i think libraries are going to have a tremendous amount of fun with this particular book one book one Lincoln our first uh selection was in 2005 and the purpose is to provide an opportunity to promote reading to promote personal learning and reflection and um to promote our connection to our Nebraska heritage with Nebraska writers publishers um and building these ideas out into libraries schools communities so that we have a point of reference about which we are connected during that year and it's a program that i believe is highly successful um a couple of things just about rick cybert he's a full-time professor at wetland still so he's not he's available upon um like that's up to your book club to contact him figure out when he's available um or zoom is probably a better option for him i think he's expressed that but yeah he is certainly willing to set up a time to talk to your book club and and just give them a more expansive overview of this genre and maybe on ever heart and i i hadn't even thought that about this but it is today yeah march first um which is women's history month in march and so here we are talking about a female author from Nebraska that um has left quite a legacy but many people don't know about it it was the first time i heard of mignon ever heart when we started looking at this book which i think is a little bit sad thing how it works in the library any number of the books i think this is part of a trilogy have been made into movies now i don't know what the availability is because the movies also were made in the 30s but i thought it might be fun to track some of those down i was gonna ask i because i thought this particular one was made into a movie wasn't it but yeah how where do we get those old ones who knows anybody know if anybody has any thoughts or is it available in and in any way one thing i did want to point out for book club group to do read the mystery of hunting zen we have um evaluations that we use as our own um for the grant process just to know how people enjoy the book what their thoughts were so those are linked on our get involved page close to the bottom and uh we just want to know what you think about the one book wonder brush the program about this book in particular and that helps us build on next year and gives us ideas for what to do better so we really appreciate that feedback if you could go um fill out those we also have print ones that we can send your book clubs if you prefer not to do it online which i know lots of people do um wait here um uh-huh um we do have some uh comments about the movie that we mentioned thank you so much yeah um props to our head of reference here the library commission lisa said yes the movie is available i'll send the link in just a minute and someone else married to say the film version is actually i thought i remembered this too that it wasn't actually called this you can't you wouldn't look up like the mystery of hunting zen the mystery film version is called mystery house interesting yeah let's see here i thought it was a good of a name film adaptations yeah there's a lot of hers that i'm doing the old wikipedia thing a lot of hers were made into um films in the 30s and 40s it looks like somebody should make do remakes or something yeah time for movie surprises me that these were so popular popular have to have movies made out of them at a time when you know people weren't making movies great you know i today it feels like a movie comes out every month or you know you have like 10 movies that come out of months but it would have been something special to have a movie made of your books back in the 30s and 40s yet we don't like i've never heard of any of your movies before let's see here always something new to learn that's for certain yeah and think of how many of egg that christie's movies have been made and remade and remade um they just keep coming back so maybe they'll be resurgent with many of us as well i hope so that would be kind of fun to add to the programming package too well while we will get for more information on the movies um one of the events that's always connected with the one before nebraska program is our celebration nebraska books that happens every fall and we we don't have the date come down just yet but it's usually in late october early november and it's free and open to the public and we always have a presentation about that year's one book one nebraska usually by either the author or some sort of scholar that can talk about the book and it's just so it's just so rewarding to have these presentations over what you've read it it does it just brings us to life and it makes you so much more interested in the backstory and the history and the characters and authors themselves so i really encourage you i'll have more information out about the celebration day but if you're in lincoln and you're available you should come we also have our presentation of the nebraska book award that day which is just another opportunity to see authors in person and have them talk to you about their books and these are these are award winners that have written some great books and been recognized for that and we also at the end of that event we announced the next year's one book one nebraska so that's always an exciting time if you do want to talk any more about the celebration or christie well we also give out the mildred benefit and the jane geski awards and those are things that anyone is welcome to send in nominations for they do two different categories one is organizations that support literacy and reading across the state and the other is for an individual who's made outstanding contributions to the literary landscape of nebraska so if you want more information those are up on the center for the book website as well and it is a rolling basis for nominations i think we close those in mid august so that we can make a decision and get those awards ready to go for the celebration but i would really encourage you if you know somebody that is a library champion a literary champion of some kind please nominate them it would be great to celebrate um as well and becky gets to sit on the winner and she and rod I think for about a month before it's announced so even the committee does not know who came out on top until that celebration and that makes it fun and of course we cannot make an announcement about a winner without nominations and we're we're just talking this morning about learning so much about minyon everhard who was writing almost a hundred years ago and what she was writing was is still very valid today so I would encourage people to you know think about nebraska writers in a full context of not only contemporary writers but also writers who are part of the heritage and submit a nomination excuse me as I said it only takes one person to nominate a book for us to consider it it doesn't have to have five or ten or 20 people nominate the same book it only takes one person nominating for us to begin to that level of consideration oh while you're talking about the recommending books we do have a question about the selection process or the I guess the nomination process here and the comment says this year's selection is only available in print and large print not audio or e-book would there be a time that you would include multiple formats as selection criteria like require that it be available in multiple as those in those other formats it has come up multiple times as we try to serve book groups many people do want the audio or e-book but this particular title does not have that option well we talked about this specific book we have been working with the university nebraska press and asking them for an e-book version that's that's much easier to produce than an audiobook version quickly so hopefully we will eventually have an e-book version available on overdrive libraries for our readers but we don't have one yet well it's just a suggestion that maybe they have that be one of the I don't know if other programs like this have requirements about it should be available in all the different formats that potential readers might need and that's it's an excellent point and something that we we work toward other states have other criteria we've found that we don't necessarily have parallel lines with the process but I think we're kind of in a gap in terms of the dates in which books are printed and the contemporary approach to availability of literature but it is something that we work toward because we want to include as many readers as possible yeah and not having the audiobook I think definitely the comment does it just limit your readership first to some for some nebraskans people that you know here since you know we have the talking book and braille service here where we promote that a lot out of the library commission so it's kind of always on the top of our minds that there's so many people that can't you know have the visual or the physical ability to do a regular book and the audiobook is their option speaking of the talking book section though um if you have readers that are part of our talking book uh program we do have this book available in our talking book as an audiobook um oh okay so for our tvbs readers they do have access to the talking book oh good just for talking book and braille uh program users so if you have something in your library and this it's not just a visual impairment it could be a physical impairment it could be um just i am i wrong about this i thought they opened it up to um some learning disabilities as well like um dyslexia dyslexia yeah yep yep it's it's not just um visual yeah it can be physical like i cannot hold the book because of some injury or um physical disability but also yeah two people with those kind of disability um reading type um comprehension disabilities we talk about it yep so yes all right i i didn't i didn't remember about that part yeah so we do have it if you're in that the tvbs and that's a thing too to we should use this as a little uh promo for them um it can be for a temporary reason too like if you just had an injury and at the moment you know your arms are in a cast or something i don't know um you can apply for and and become part of it um and get tvbs access to all the books that they have yeah um but just if you like to listen to audiobooks that's not what it's for um but yeah so but so if you um our librarian out there who has a patron or customer who you think would be perfect for that service let us know and we'll get them um hooked up it's also for students so it's for children as well as adults just out there so we do have access to that as part of the nomination process um i've got we've got a slide up here just talking about it a little bit um it's up on the center for the book website year round you can nominate a book um our our cutoff for each year i believe is June 15th so after June 15th you're nominating books for the next year essentially but it's really easy to use we just want the title of the book the author's name your email and any comments you might have and then we just want to know these three simple things so maybe in the future we'll have some information about um ebook and audiobooks versions um or maybe that's something just the community will take into account when they're looking at books but it's a super simple process and we can't consider a book if you don't nominate it so we really encourage you to get out there and if you have a book you think would be just perfect for one book one Nebraska submit a nomination for us so we can can have it on the list of the possibility and there's so many books published each year that there's no way that the commission staff or the center for the book board could be aware of all the possibilities that are out there so please nominate things as you come across them that would be wonderful or even if you've nominated a book in the past that hasn't been chosen nominated again maybe that next year this year sometimes I think the voting is very close as to which one ends up being the final selection so yeah so there's no rules about you cannot nominate a book that's already been nominated you can keep nominating the same one until it gets picked I think the only caveat we have is this is an adult program so we don't consider children's books so while your children while a children or a YA book might need all these stipulations we we do limit it to more of an adult level reading book yeah and it's really helpful if the person who is nominating the book has read it because I think sometimes it allows for more specific comments in that box comments about your nomination if a person is nominating a book but has not read it they may not know exactly what they're nominating and if the nominator has read the book then that person can put more specific comments in that box about the nomination and we would hope that it would be a book that you enthusiastically support not just because it has a passing reference to Nebraska if you loved it let us know because that's what we want to show and it's you've said there are books that may be nominated several times and not reach the final selection but don't give up keep nominating because it may happen okay good question and something that I was just looking up doing myself has there been and I know the answer to this one has there been a consideration for doing a version of this for children's young adult titles there actually is a one book for Nebraska kids and one books for Nebraska teens program not through the Nebraska Center for the book but through the Nebraska Library Commission we actually do have that I don't know if Tessa if you can bring that up on your screen there from the commission's home page oh there it is I'm sorry I'm looking at my uh go to webinar not looking at your screen yeah um there is a 2023 one three up yet yes there is though if you go to the page on our website we've got the 2023 titles um I'm not sure what links you have there that would um I thought we had that link on here but yes this is a program um that we have for kids as well it's not specific to Nebraska books or Nebraska authors the way the adult one is um this is more um picking out books for the different age readers so that they could have the same experience of reading the same book and talking about it across the state yeah we just put the link to that website in the uh questions too yeah and I'll see dot Nebraska dot gov slash youth slash ob okay one book one kid um but it is a book for kids in teens and the 2023 titles are the Birchbark house um for kids and not if I save you first for teens and the Amy is always great about putting Amy Owens Owens one of our librarians is great about putting up um activities that go along with those books whether it's like a word search or a puzzle or something like that so um kids can be involved in multiple ways outside of just reading the books too so there's some activities that can go along with that so we do have adults kids and teens um one books anyone can go ahead and use in their libraries as a program yeah um if anybody has any more questions we've got about 10 minutes left um if you haven't read the past winners of the one book one Nebraska I would encourage you to go back and do that because all of them have had some really great programming with them but there's something new to learn from each and every one of those and maybe another piece of understanding of Nebraska's culture and history um so I would encourage you to go back through that list if you've not read them that's an interesting point Christy because in 2006 our second one book one Nebraska selection was Alex Kava's book one false move which of course is a tale of murder and I was not on the selection committee that year um until I've not read that book but one of the things I decided to do was to go back and read it to see the difference in the way um the ideas of how to present murderous behavior for lack of a better term evolves between 1930 with the influence of Agatha Christie and that circular tight movement and Alex Kava's book which I believe was published in 2004 in a much more uh there's no mystery here you know right away who the murderer is and it's very dramatic it's very 21st century kind of approach so doing what you said Christy it's been very enlightening for me to see the difference between those two books and if you go just another shout out to Humanities Nebraska if you go to their website and you can sign up for their weekly newsletter and any number of these authors Johnnus is out there Kieran Shoemaker some of those people um the Cather scholars are across the state given presentations and maybe it's not directly connected to one book one Nebraska but you always learn something so take advantage of those opportunities as well um to to see people that have been at the libraries in the past um and you know some of them come back on a regular basis with yet another presentation that is related to the one of the books that was selected as one book one Nebraska um title anyway lots of opportunities to engage we do a comment from one like one person says I think I will create a display with as many as I can um of these one book one Nebraska books we are celebrating 100 years of our library so I'm looking for some fun displays that's a great idea I love that well and the cover on Mystery of Hunting is so beautiful that that's really going to enhance the display love the artwork on that one yeah yeah so does anybody have any other questions comments thoughts suggestions go ahead and type them into the question section um we did um we were talking earlier about and I think I had myself muted when I was trying to get into it more about the movie version of this mystery house um and I am going to find the right link here I'm going to pull presenter control back to my screen because I got the link here and um I just want to show yes okay um this over here the link that was shared that are um that Lisa found here the commission is from uh here the internet archive it's the actual movie you can just watch it right there on the um from their website um and that's the link that's in the chat uh it's only like it says it's 56 minutes so you can watch the movie there um through the searching I did I found that also it is actually part of a set of that Warner Brothers put out of I think it's six six different horror mystery movies and done as double features um that's available on Amazon and possibly through other sellers um other places too um and you could have a movie night a double feature these are if they're short like the mystery house one um is part of this collection that you can get on DVD great idea I love that lots of options for that and we talked about talking about the Braille service um there's information right on there on our website on how to um see if you're eligible how to sign up how to get become part of that and the one book for Nebraska kids and teens here I brought up the commission's page um you can see yeah that we do have the current information and all those activities um that uh Tessa mentioned and book club kits for these as well that we always put together book club kits for the one book um uh selections for kids and teens as well just like we do for the um adult one yeah one thing I don't know if we mentioned um type of the movies and double features made me think of it this mystery venting's end is part of a series so if you enjoy this book and you want to keep reading about the characters she has other books this is I think the second or third book in our series yeah I just list up here a second ago yeah it's the Sarah Keats series K E A T E um yeah it says there's seven in the full series seven total um there's more to more to go with after you finish this book it's like the Agatha Christie series that had Miss Marple or Erquil Cuaro it's the same concept yes um and someone says yes I read them and they are very good yep and it looks like too some of them um um our other ones of those are made were made into uh were filmed as well yeah one two three the first five yeah cool I think one of the things we learned through this book and learning about Minion Eberhardt what is um that her national reputation was extremely strong she was one of the best-selling authors in during her career so we might not have heard of her um and might not be familiar with some of these books but her reputation was very solid um one one last thing that I just remembered um from your comment from somebody who said they read the book from London, we have a place where you can leave a book review um on the One Book One Nebraska website it's right under the E um that like submitted an evaluation or a survey but you can leave a book review about the book and you would love that under get involved thank you go down to bottom all the way to the bottom here all the way to the bottom um yeah under um evaluations and book review you got a link right there yep book review yep so tell us what you think just like you know on amazon or go to these people people like to view what other people who have read the book think and that helps other readers get engaged and pick up the book themselves so if you loved it you would love to hear that and be able to maybe we'll post your review in a um facebook post or on instagram or on the website just to let people know somebody else's perspective about the book absolutely yeah and something else I'm going to mention since we were talking about the movie and I keep doing back this is and I'm going to get this up here quickly um here to the library commission we do have and thank you for Lisa reminding me of this um the movie uh public performance site license um all public libraries are covered by this um they're for showing movies inside your library building so um and we are good through september this year so um usually gets renewed every year so uh definitely make sure that you uh take this in consideration look into this before you start showing movies in your library um for certain um videos and movies and oh we have a question here interest oh I don't know um are there any performers who portray the author I don't know not that I'm aware of but yeah off the top of my head I know there are for some authors that there I don't know if anyone has I doubt anyone's got this particular author in their repertoire I don't know why she's been included in this Takwa kind of presentation so I'm not aware either I think my hope is with this program highlighting her book that you know they'll become popular again and then that will be something somebody wants to do is be a presenter as Mignon Everhart absolutely it's fun to see the artwork I know Krista earlier you had pulled up you know other iterations of the type of the front page and you know each time a book comes out the artwork seems to change kind of fun to see that progression I love what they've done with this and um the other at least the first two in the series are of similar artwork just kind of fun to look at all of the different ones and once you read the book you look at that picture more closely it's like oh and this piece and this piece so all those little clues and tips um in the story that show up yeah definitely go back and look at this while you're reading along and say aha that's why that's on the cover yes and I love that there's a map in this book so you can keep track because it's important in the lodge where people are moving and it's really nice to be able to kind of plot where everybody was and where something happened to keep that straight and I know I believe her husband was an architect so there was speculation that maybe he drew the map for this particular book which I think is a really great user reader tool I love books with maps all right any other a little after 11 we did start a little after 10 so that's okay um anybody have any other comments or questions or suggestions for anything any ideas about what you're you're doing in your library with one book one Nebraska this year but definitely follow the Facebook page keep an eye on what's going on for the program as as we and and the website here is more events and things are added any final words from uh you all Becky Christy tessa thank you for having us and hope everybody picks up a copy to read yeah I couldn't say better nominate things for next year yes think about next year's the 20th anniversary what do we want to do special and what would be a special title for that yeah yeah hard one well we're gonna have some good conversations about that yeah all right I don't see anything any desperate urgent questions coming in that's fine you all know how to reach uh tessa um about this if you do want to or go to the

our 15th year of encompass live oh my gosh uh so just do pay attention if you're watching any old shows to the original broadcast date they all have a date on here um many of the shows will be fine
