 All right, good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I'm your host, I'll be here on the end, Krista Porter from the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the commission's weekly webinar show where we cover a variety of topics, maybe 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 Wednesday, that's fine. We do record the show every week, and it is then posted to our website in our archives. And I'll show you the end of today's show where you can access all of our archives of the show. Both the live show and the recordings recorded archives are free and open to anyone to watch. So please share with your friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, anyone you think might have an interest of any of the topics we have on the show. The Nebraska Library Commission is the state agency for libraries in Nebraska, and that's for all types of libraries. You will find things on our show for K-12, academic, public corrections, museums, anything that has a library or something library-ish related, there could be something on our show about that. We have a mixture of things on the show, book reviews, interviews, mini-training sessions, demos of products and services, anything we think that may be interesting to anyone in the library world. We do have Nebraska Library Commission staff that sometimes do presentations on topics that are things that we are doing here at the Library Commission. And we also sometimes bring in guest speakers to talk about things they are doing. And today we have a mixture of that today. Today we are talking about the 2021 Book 1 Nebraska title, All the Gallant Men. And I think I'll just hand over to you, Jessica, and we can introduce as we go, who's doing here, I guess. Tessa Terry is our communications coordinator here at the Nebraska Library Commission, works with the Nebraska Center for the Book, and he made Nebraska and all of these events that we do related to this, so I think I'll just hand over to you and you can take the way and talk about the book. So this is our annual 1 Book 1 Nebraska Encompass Live. We do this every year just to talk about the program itself. The Center for the Book is doing to promote it, and then how the Library Commission and Humanities Nebraska all kind of have a hand in this program. So we're going to start it off by just talking about the Center for the Book itself. And I'm going to hand that over to Rod Wagner, our director. Yes, good morning. The Nebraska Center for the Book is an affiliate of the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress. Every state has a state center. Ours was among the early states organized with a Center for the Book. And we have a number of programs, including the 1 Book 1 Nebraska program. We also have the letters about literature program that we participate in. We have a book awards program in which we annually present awards for outstanding books written with a Nebraska connection. But today our purpose is to talk about this year's selection for 1 Book 1 Nebraska. And who is next? Becky. Becky Faber. She is on the Nebraska Center for the Book board, as well as the selection committee for our 1 Book 1 Nebraska. And can you tell us a little bit about the 1 Book program and then how we chose this year's book? The 1 Book 1 Nebraska is a program that unites the state of Nebraska in reading 1 Book throughout a calendar year. This program has been intact for about 15 years. The process is very straightforward. The books that are nominated come from the public. So before the selection committee even begins to work on choosing a book, we look at the books that have been nominated and at the end Tessa will show the form for being able to nominate a book. But every book that is nominated is considered and every book that is nominated comes from the public. And this is not the same in all states but in Nebraska the process has always been that the nominations are made by public readers. The books need to be written by Nebraska authors whether that author has been born in Nebraska or lived his or her entire life there, that is not an integral part of it the author does need to have lived in Nebraska at some point. Or the book needs to have a Nebraska setting or a Nebraska theme. And once books meet at least one or two of those criteria and they also must be widely available to readers, then the committee begins the selection process. Every book that is nominated that meets criteria is read by at least two readers. And as the readers finish the book they give feedback on their evaluation of the book and how they feel that readers across Nebraska would respond to the book and the process then continues to narrow until we have a short list of four or five books. At that point we do publicize what the short list is so that readers across Nebraska can see how we have been advancing in this process. And then that short list goes to the entire board of the Center for the Book and the board is given background and information about each book and then the board members vote and one book is selected. So here we have a slide with all the past One Book, One Nebraska selections. If someone nominates the book last year that didn't get chosen do they have to nominate again for 2021? Yes. Yeah. So new nominations every single year. We do have on the One Book, One Nebraska webpage, we have a specific page for each book but we do have the list of these books on the Center for the Book webpage as well so you can go back and take a peek at them. They're also all still available as book club kits from the commissioning and the regional library system. So this year's selection is All the Gallant Men. Can you tell us a little bit about why we chose this book and how it came to be our One Book, One Nebraska selection? Well it met criteria initially because of course the author was born in Nebraska and certainly this book published in 2016 is quite widely available. And Mr. Stratton talks very clearly about his upbringing in the state of Nebraska. This is a very appealing book as the committee read it and we looked at feedback from the readers. The readers talked about it as being personal yet incredibly important historically. They found it to be very well written and compelling to read. I've talked with readers who have commented that it was a very difficult book to put down. They were so caught up in it and I actually talked with one woman who said that she would be glad when her husband finished reading it so he would talk with her again because she was so engrossed in the book that he was this kind of in his own world again. I've read the book cover to cover at least twice and I've gone back and looked at other parts of it and each time I read it I'm picking up on something that I didn't notice the first time through but I'm also sharing that feeling that others have talked about which is that this is such a unique account of Pearl Harbor. It is the first memoir by a survivor of the USS Arizona and regardless of how many films one has seen about World War II or the way it was taught in a history class there is information in this book that simply is not available anywhere else and I think that it also it's written by a very humble man. Mr. Stratton does not elevate himself as a hero in any way. He's very humble but it is very touching to see what he endured when the USS Arizona was attacked by the Japanese planes on December 7th 1941 and also his resilience from the incredible injuries that he suffered and then his desire to return to military service in 1944 and fight in some of the final battles in the Pacific of World War II. On the committee who read it was just taken by the immense commitment and resilience that Mr. Stratton had. Every reader I've spoken to whether it was in the process or afterwards has really been taken by this book. I see you've got a copy with you. Were there any parts you had picked out to read or? I had marked some things in the book that I thought were important and the book has a copyright of 2016 and so one might wonder why he waited until 2016 to tell this story and he was talking about that he wanted to write this story for the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor and he said at 94 which he was at that time I don't take the years ahead for granted I share what I remember when I can but a day will come when I can no longer speak what then I've asked myself what will become of the memories that I as a survivor have experienced or the lessons that we as a nation have learned. That's why I wrote this book and of course such a blessing for us that he did write it and his co-writer Ken Geyer helped to put this book together because as I'm sure everyone has heard Mr. Stratton passed away last weekend and this book is certainly a testament to the stories that are very important to American history. So we do have a couple ways that you guys can get involved in One Book One Nebraska aside from reading the book which is obviously one of the most important ways to be involved. We have a web page just for this year's One Book and it has several different pages on it where you can learn about the book and the author. On the author page I believe we have a video recording of Mr. Stratton talking about the novel or not the novel, the memoir. We have a get involved page where you can find information about getting a book club kit, finding the book just in general, different versions of it. We have a talking book and braille version that we can offer to readers as well through that service. We also have speakers listed on the get involved page from Community Nebraska that coincide with this year's theme. So we also have a Facebook page that you can like and follow and keep up to date. We post different events that are happening and just any information that we have about the book that we would want to share with you. So speaking of programs, you sent us a few speakers. Tell us about the Community Nebraska's part in One Book One Nebraska. Yeah, Humane Nebraska annually funds One Book One Nebraska. We help provide funding for the book kits that get sent out to libraries. We also can provide speakers that have something to do with the book or related to the theme. And this year we have five programs in our Speakers Bureau that relate to World War II. They aren't specifically about all the galitimate, but they can provide some context to what was going on at that time. For instance, we have one called the Allied Invasion of Japan by Jack Campbell that talks about the last days of World War II and that invasion. We also have a program by Doug Rung called Nebraska's Remember World War II. And that provides some oral history that he has collected, but also provides opportunities for citizens who come to that program to share their own stories. So those are all available. You said they're on the One Book One Nebraska page. Yes, they're listed on our One Book One Nebraska page. Yeah, I'm looking at here. They're on the Get Involved section where you can get the book and then you scroll down. There's about the Facebook page and then the five different sessions that you mentioned, too. Yeah, and that's an easy process to apply for a Speakers Bureau presentation. You can go to, actually it's right here on the screen, Humains Nebraska dot org. Go to our Speakers Bureau catalog. We have a very easy online application that you can fill out. The steps to apply for a Speakers Bureau is to, first of all, contact the speaker, make sure they are available, get them scheduled, and then go onto our website and apply online. And if you have any questions at all, just call our office at 402-474-2131 and we will walk you through the process. There is an application fee of $50, but we will cover the costs of the speakers. We'll cover their honorarium and their travel. They will travel throughout the state. Yeah, it's a really great program that we've utilized for the one but one Nebraska for several books and it's just a really good connection for once you've read the book to have a speaker come into your community and just expand on that a little bit for you guys as well as your book club readers, but also anybody in your community who want to attend that kind of session. Becky, tell us a little bit about some of the other ways people can get involved with. You were going to set up a few speaking about the one book in general. Yes, I'm looking into some possibilities for programs here in Lincoln and then also more toward Central Nebraska. So as I'm able to get things tightened up, we will definitely put those on the website. But I think we have a book here that is going to generate wonderful response from people who attend these presentations, whether they have a connection with someone who served in World War II or someone who served perhaps in the military later than that or even with family folklore, stories that they've heard through their families. And a few years ago, our one book, One Nephilim, was a book that was published in the United States of Nebraska was Once Upon a Town about the North Platte canteen. And people who had never been to North Platte still found ways that they could connect with the troop movements through Nebraska or the assignments in World War II. And so I think that one does not have to have a friend or relative who served in the military to be able to respond to this book. And I think with that in mind that in any community, any of the presentations are going to draw wonderful response from those who attend. Yeah. Another program that we're, I'm going to say partnering with, in a sense, is the Humanities Nebraska and Nebraska Warrior Writers Program. So can you tell us a little bit about that here, guys? Yeah. In fact, I was thinking a lot about the Nebraska Warrior Writers Program when Becky was talking about how Donald Stratton took a while to write this book, because I think I had read the place where he spent 25 years trying to forget what had happened at Pearl Harbor, and then he wrote this book to remember. And we have a lot of veterans in Nebraska who work very hard to forget their combat service. And the Nebraska Warrior Writers is not really a therapy for that. It's just a chance for veterans and active military to get together in a safe writing group where they can explore writing in different genres. About different things. They don't always write about their military experience, but they can write memoirs or fiction or poetry, nonfiction. We have some science fiction writers. We have some fantasy writers, and it's just a safe spot to get together and write and work with professional writing instructors. We have other published authors who come in every week, almost every week, to talk with them and lead them in writing exercises. And we have a picture of our Lincoln group up there on the screen. It's just been a really successful program. We have one going on in Lincoln right now that is on Saturdays. It started February 8, and it goes until May 2. And I think we have some of those flyers available with the dates. And you can, if you're active military or a family of a veteran, you can attend at any time. So for instance, if you missed February 8, but you can go February 22, you are always more than welcome to go. We also have a group going on in Omaha right now. They just started, I think, last week on the 15th. And they're going to meet again on the 29th. They go until May 16th. So once again, if you missed the first week, you can go the second week or the third week. They are free to attend, which is quite amazing for writing workshops of this caliber. Usually you have to pay $100, $150 to get professional writing instruction and get one-on-one with published authors. So we provide this for free thanks to very generous donations. Where else in Nebraska, so we've talked about Lincoln and Omaha. Are there any other programs throughout the state? We're in Nebraska-Warriorite. Yes. We have had a program in Grand Island in the past. We are currently seeking some, we're currently seeking a location and facilitators for a Central Nebraska program. We do Nebraska-Warriorite in partnership with Nebraska Writing Project. And that's where our writing instructors come from. It's from the Writing Project. They have years and years of experience leading these writing workshops. All right. So if someone out there is interested in starting something like this in their community, how would that process work? Well, contacting me first of all by e-mail. And then what happens is I will talk with Robert Brooke of the Nebraska Writing Project to see if we have any Nebraska Writing Project instructors out there in the community. And then trying to get that together. I know we have several people out in Central Nebraska who miss our Grand Island program and want to get involved again. Sounds great. And we do have the link to that website up on the slides right now. So you guys can, if you're interested, take a look at that and possibly contact Erica to find out more. Just another shot of the Lincoln and Omaha sessions that are currently happening. So sort of the culmination of our One Book One Nebraska program every year is our Celebration of Nebraska Books. We've already got a date for this year, which is October 17th. We always have that at the Nebraska History Museum downtown Lincoln. And this is just a really great program experience. Do you guys want to talk about the Celebration of All and your experience with that in the past? I think it's such an interesting day because it's more than just the announcement of the One Book One Nebraska. And the Nebraska Book Awards are given on that day. And as a voracious reader, I love seeing the books that are receiving the Book Awards because my hand is just flying, writing down titles and making little notes in the program of things that I would like to read that are award-winning books. So for people who are voracious readers, it's a wonderful day to find some books that are being acknowledged as being very strong books in a variety of categories. So one does not just have to be interested only in a novel or only in poetry or memoir, but there's a wide range as well. And so I love that part of it. I also like seeing people being recognized for the Mildred Bennett Award and Groups for the Jane Gesby Award because I think it's a way that we acknowledge people who have really given strong effort to promote language literacy and literature in the state of Nebraska. And as a full disclaimer, I am not a native Nebraskan, but I've lived in Nebraska most of my life. And so I never had that fourth grade history class that most Nebraskans have had. So I'm always about two steps behind trying to catch up. But I'm very proud of the efforts that people in this state have taken to encourage their cultural heritage. And so I like that. And of course, I always love when the one book, when the Nebraska Selection is announced. I like to make it so like, what's going to happen? It's very suspenseful, yes. And then, ta-da, we have a winner. But I love watching the faces of the people in the audience because, of course, they've been able to see the short list. And so I like watching the response of the people who come because it obviously is important to them and that's going to be a part of their reading list for the next year or two. People have their favorites that they voted, that they may have nominated or read because they saw the short list. Yes. And those who attend tell us how much they enjoy hearing the authors talk about their experiences in the book. The authors have a brief opportunity to do some reading from their book, make comments about it. And the museum store also has copies of the books available for sale and then signing afterwards during the reception that ends the event for the day. Yeah. I always go home with a whole new book list. Yes. Something about hearing authors talk about their own work just really ignites my curiosity for it. Yeah. I've read a lot of books that way that I probably would not pick up otherwise because I'm a pretty solid fiction reader. And a lot of nonfiction books that just sound so appealing after hearing the authors speak about them are my favorite. Well, and to reinforce Rod's point about the fact that those books are available in the museum store right then. I don't have to make another trip out or, you know, try and find a source for the book. When I hear about a book that I think is just tremendous, I'm wanting to buy it right away and the museum as well. And the museum as well. That's what I usually buy my copy of the next one book when Nebraska has a celebration. Well, and I often will buy copies to give a gift. I can't do it before the announcement because I can't give away but once the announcement is made then I can go in and buy copies to give. And I have, I've given several copies of all the Gallant Men already in the short time that it's been the designated one book when Nebraska. And the store buys copies of the books that are on the shortlist. Yeah. They're there and you can buy any of the ones that were under consideration for the final move. So before we talk about nominating for one before Nebraska, I just want to give you a chance to type in any questions you might want us to answer. So go ahead and submit those while we talk about this and then we'll address your questions. I did something I wanted to mention on the webpage for we were talking about events and things going on. There is a calendar of events, but we are looking for what you're doing out in your libraries to let us know. There's a link there to submit your event by email or to call us to let us know so they can be on the calendar so it can help promote if you are, did get some maybe in Humanity Nebraska or someone local to talk about their experiences. Submit it there on the webpage so we can add it to our events colors. Everybody knows what's going on around the state everywhere. We would love to do that. And it's just nice to see a whole list of what everyone across the state is doing with this program. So we really appreciate your feedback and your information about your local events as well. So even if it's just your book club getting together to talk about the book and you've invited the rest of the community to come in and talk about it, we will put that up there and let everyone know what's happening. So, nominating a book for the One Book One Nebraska, this is last year's flyer, but you can nominate for the One Book year round. It's not just a certain time of year. This is available all year long on our Center for the Book webpage. And this is just a screenshot of what that submission page looks like. It's very simple and straightforward. We don't need a whole book essay about why you've chosen this book and why you should be submitted. We just ask whether it checks, marks those boxes of is it a Nebraska author? Does it have a Nebraska setting? Is it available in print? So those are really our only requirements and not even all of them, just the only one that probably is most important is, is it available? That's the one we need every time. But otherwise just some sort of Nebraska connection is really what we're looking for. We do have a question about this year's book specifically about the author, which I'm not sure if you didn't know. If you want to know, was the author able to do much promotion of his book, which just came out in 2016, because of his age? Do we know? I mean, there's that one video that's on the page. It's my impression, yes. And also through the Facebook page that was created to focus on the book. The book has its own Facebook page for the book, for the first time. Yeah, I know there, the publisher did a lot of work on it. I don't know if he did a book tour or if Ken Geyer maybe took a bigger hand in that. That's a great question. Yeah, because there's the book trailer video on our page, on the one book, on the Nebraska page under the book section that has him talking. And this was a New York Times bestseller, wasn't it? Yeah. So it did get a good amount of publicity back in 2016 when it was first published. Yes. And to that end, because it was so well documented as an important book about Pearl Harbor, one of the things, excuse me, one of the things that you have seen over the last few days is how widely the story of Mr. Stratton's passing has been. It's been on ABC, CNN, national news sources, so this is not just a local notation of his passing, but a national notation. Yeah, I read a USA Today story about it that we shared. Do you guys have any other questions for us? Were we able to get in touch with him about the type that had been selected for the Brexit? Yes, we did. We didn't hear back from him directly, but we heard from his son Randy. Oh, great, okay. So they were very much aware of the book was selected. Then I have a question about you. This is written with Ken Geyert. Do you know much about him? Or would he be available to do things throughout the year than you know? You know, I don't know about him. I don't know about his availability for book talks. That's usually something you have to find out from either his publisher or agent, but I do believe he has written several books in the past. He's a very accomplished author. He's a professional writer, and the last time I knew he lived in Colorado, and he has comments at the end of the book about how he came to write the story, and he had a daughter who lived in the Colorado Springs area, and she had heard about Mr. Stratton and had contacted her father and encouraged him to look into this. So Mr. Geyert met with Mr. Stratton, and the project took off from there, and they were aware of Mr. Stratton's age and the limitations in being able to do this, but they were able to sell it to Harper Collins very quickly and have the book come out for the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. I don't know much more about Mr. Geyert than that, but he obviously is a professional writer, and I will go back and say that was one of the very strong points about this book was that it was so beautifully written. It's very nice, and it's presentation of information. Yeah, Krista was kind enough to find Ken Geyert's Twitter, so he does have a Twitter account that you can contact him through, and he has a page for all the Gallant men on the Harper Collins Publishers' webpage. So potentially going through the publisher would be a way to get in touch with him to see if it was something he'd be willing to either come to speak about, and a lot of authors do Skype things with both classrooms and with libraries as well, but you can't travel to wherever you wanted to have it in. In Colorado, it's not too far away, so you never know. There is an interstate. I think this is segueing from Mr. Geyert, but I think that an important part of this book is Mr. Stratton's background, not only because he was born in Innavale and then moved to Redclout, but he also talks very clearly about rural poverty and the ways in which rural America were impacted during the Depression and post-Depression, and that he initially entered the service to have a steady paycheck and one that he could send home to his family, and many of the people that we think of in the military during World War II, we think that they often enlisted because of the Pearl Harbor attack, and with Mr. Stratton, that was not the case. He entered prior to Pearl Harbor and then, of course, details it as an experienced sailor, but I think that the background of what rural America looked like in the late 1930s and early 1940s is also a very important part of American history. I think that's good to know about this book, too, because I think some people may see it and see the title and think it's just about the war or just about that event, this whole book, all about that, but there's so much more in there beyond just that one day of looking at that. We do have contact information available for me. If you have questions about the One Book Process, my email is up there. I'll put my phone number so you can give me a call at the office, and I can help guide you through some of those One Book One Nebraska resources we have. Yeah, do you guys have any questions? We've got a little time left. Oh, yeah, we have time. Are there questions, comments, thoughts? Anything you want to say about the One Book One Nebraska in general or this particular title? I'll go ahead and type it in there, or if you want to raise your hand, you can use your microphone and comment your questions that way. I can't tell if people are typing in. That's the thing. While we're waiting, I would like to ask Becky if you would talk about work she has done, writing she has done, and other activities she's been involved in related to veterans. Well, I thought it was very interesting when Erica was talking about veterans and the warrior writers and that often veterans don't want to talk about their experience. And that was what I saw. My father had served in World War II and he enlisted after Pearl Harbor. My uncle enlisted in the Army prior to Pearl Harbor and my uncle ended up being a prisoner of war in Germany for almost two years. And when he came back, he never talked about it and we were told never to ask him about it. And of course, as I got older, many of the young men with whom I went to high school or college served in Vietnam and my brother was in the military as well. Somewhere in the last few years, I learned that the suicide rate for veterans was 22 veterans per day and now the last figure I've seen is 20 per day. And that has just haunted me and I've been writing for a long time and I decided in 2017 to put together a book that dealt with military and service issues and a portion of the sales of the book go to the Military and Student Veterans Center at the university because every year they do a rough march before the Iowa and Nebraska game to raise awareness of the veteran suicide rate. So I've really been caught up more strongly in this project in the last couple of years and as I was on the committee for the one book on Nebraska, I had to pull back as a writer and a relative of veterans and read it for the beautiful writing that was in there. But it also, to me, reinforces what Mr. Stratton said early in the book, why he wrote it. He pulled away from that for a long time and then it was that the story needed to be told. And so as we encourage veterans to find workable ways to deal with their experience. We do have a comment. Chuck at Hebron C. Chris Library here in Nebraska said, we had our book club discuss the book last night and I would highly recommend this book for Book Club Street. We have book club kits available through the Nebraska Library Commission. Your regional library systems also have book club kits available so you can get them either through us or then. I know there is probably a bit of a way people are already scheduling this book for our book club kits. We have 50 copies, two large prints and it's available to the Talking Books in Braille Service too. So they read and produced that here in our library commission studio. So it's a really great version of it as well if you have anybody with visual or reading impairment. Get them set up with that Talking Books service so they can get this book as well. And we did send kits out to all four of our regional library systems too so they have their own set as well if all the copies that we have here via the commission are not available. We're also buying them or interlibrary loading them from anywhere in the country is an option for you guys too. We try to offer as many as we can but there's only so many we can purchase and have a. Oh, one more question. I wasn't looking. Nebraska City, Claudette says I will be hosting a book club on this book in October in Nebraska City. I'm glad it was chosen as I had sent in a nomination for it. Two years ago. See, that's just telling you if your book's not picked one year, submit it again because who knows what it's been submitted again and maybe that year something else is a little bit more timely or catches people's interest but we have so many great submissions just because it's not picked one doesn't mean it won't be picked another time. Exactly. That has happened though on a number of occasions. Yes. From our commission staff here I believe it's probably Lisa or Amy who is there watching about the book club because they handle those. There's many reservations for it. Some months in the summer are still available but otherwise fall or winter would be the next time you'd be able to definitely get it. Yes. Contact our book club staff. The commission staff. The book is very affordable so please buy books too. You guys both have hardcover so I'm assuming by now also I will put my paper back. I'll put my paper back at my office. Those are the options and the e-book and the audio all the usual. If you're a library that has a copy of the book you can contact us with promotional materials as well through the commission. We have bookmarks that we can send you. We have discussion questions for the book. We can get your book club. We have posters. There's always we have One Book One Nebraska Seal stickers. If you have a copy in your library you'd like to have a rather than just on your book. We'll hold that up for us. So just to signify what year it was selected for. You can always contact us and ask for promotional material and supplies. We'd love to help you out in that form as well. Any more questions or comments from our watchers? Nothing right now. Yeah. So for these promotional materials people wouldn't have to print them out themselves. We would send them. We order a bunch of them here. We try to send them out with book club kits but sometimes they get sent back to us. So when we send them out to you we mean for you to keep them. But yeah if we don't send them back we have plenty. But we're always willing. We gave a bunch to Erika and Kimania to send out. We send them out all over the place. Yeah, we love it. So if you're a bookstore owner and just want them for your library users we'd be happy to send you a stack of them just to put out on your desk. Hand out for free. Definitely. So it doesn't look like any other last minute desperate questions are coming in. Desperate questions. I don't know how desperate they are. But we do have a test of contact info of course here or the web pages to go through to find out if it's to reach out. Thank you for coming in. Oh, sure. You guys are welcome. So I think if you don't have anything else you guys want to talk about or share about right now we could wrap it up this morning. Any last minute words from any of you or I take over? Alright, get the book. Read it. Talk about it. Learn more about the event. We are going to wrap it up for today's Encompass Live. And here on our website I'm going to show you where the archive will be. If you go to the commission's website and look up Encompass Live you can see it comes up in our search here. But also if you choose any search engine of your choice and type in Encompass Live so far we are the only thing called that on the internet. Alright. Some day I'm not going to say that on your website. But it's been like 10 years and nobody seems to. But you can find our web page. This is where we have our upcoming shows and our archives are right here just underneath. So if you click on here you'll get all this of our archives, the most recent ones on the top of the page. So today's show as long as go-to webinar and YouTube cooperate with me by the end of the day should be up there on the top of the list. I will have a link to the recording on our YouTube channel and then a link to the slides that we used today as well. You can browse through those. They will be available there as well. Everyone who headed this morning or who registered for today's show will get an email from me letting you know it's available. We also pushed out into our various social media our mailing list, Twitter, Facebook all the places we have to communicate with to let you know when the recording is available. While I'm here I'll show you too our archives where we have a search feature here. We can search all of our historical shows here. You'll notice we do have a you can look at just the most recent 12 months. That is because we have our full archives here and come to a slide premiered in January 2009. And if we scroll all the way to the bottom that's what I won't do to make it dizzy. We'll find our very first shows back in 2009. There we go. And I'll see. If you just want to see something on a topic of anything that we did over the years go ahead and search for it. It's not really current information limited to those recent 12 months. Pay attention just when you're watching an archive to show of the original date of that it was broadcast. Some things may no longer exist. Some shows will always be useful to use on topics. But some things may no longer exist anymore. Blinks may be broken. Services or products may have changed or just been limited completely. But just pay attention when you are looking at the archives in there. But as long as YouTube keeps hosting our recordings then we'll keep them up there. And if YouTube never disappears we'll find some more. May I have one comment? My book is entitled One Small Photo and it is 17 Poems and One Short Story and they are all military related. It's available at Francine Finch in Lincoln. At chapters, books and gifts in Seward and at the Cather's Center in Redclout. Definitely a good companion piece. I think it is. Yes. Yes it is. Absolutely. Great. So that's what I've got for today's show. I hope you'll join us next week when our topic is our pre-sweet tech. Once a month Amanda Sweet, our technology innovation librarian here at the Nebraska Library Commission comes on Encompass Live and does something tech related. So if you're a big tech person this is a show for you to watch out for. Next week we should be talking about coding languages. Which coding language should I learn? I have no idea. I'm going to come and tell us all about them. There are so many different ones out there and why you would use them and how you would learn them. She's going to come and talk to us about that on Nick Wednesday's show. So please do sign up for that. Any of our other shows we have here. You see I've got almost all of March in here working on actually on Wednesday there. You'll start seeing some of the April shows come up as well on to the schedule. So just keep an eye on that and set up for any of their other shows. I've got a couple of reminders here posted about the stress and passing and log in for today's show. No, I don't want to log in right now. So I keep me up two or three times a week to post notices up here about upcoming shows, previous shows, recordings that are all coming up available. So if you want to keep up with us on Encompass Live out there you can do so. I think that wraps up today. Thank you everybody for being here with us this morning talking about this great book. Hopefully more and more people will read it. Thank you everybody for attending this morning and we'll see you another time on Encompass Live. Bye-bye. Bye guys.
