 All right, good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I'm your host, Krista Porter, at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the Commission's weekly webinar series where we cover a variety of topics of interest to libraries and librarians and library staff. We broadcast live every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. Central Time. But if you are unable to join us on Wednesdays, that's fine. We do record the show every week, and it is then posted to our website to watch later. And I'll show you at the end of today's show, where you can access all of our archives. Both the live show and the archive recordings are free and open to anyone to watch. So please do share with your friends, neighbors, family, colleagues, anyone you think that may be interested in any of the topics that we have on the show. We do quite a mixture of things here on Encompass Live. Booker views, interviews, mini-training sessions, demos, basically anything that may be of interest that is a library-related topic. Libraries is really our only focus, goal, whatever. And we cover all types of libraries here as well. The Nebraska Library Commission is the state agency for random events from Nebraska. For libraries, all types of libraries across the state. So you'll find things for all sorts of libraries here. The academic, K-12 schools, public, correction facilities, museums. We run a canon here. We do have Nebraska Library Commission staff that come on and do presentations about things, services, products, resources that we think may be of interest to libraries that we offer. But we also read guest speakers sometimes from outside the commission. And that's what we have here, sort of. For those of you right where in Nebraska, we have four regional library systems. They cover each in area of the state geographically and do consulting and training with libraries in their respective areas. And also regularly on Encompass Live, we do book review shows where we have commission staff that come on and do talks about books on either certain genres, certain types of books, things that we've done for our blogging of Friday Reads. And a few years ago, we did one where we had our system directors do come in and talk about books that they liked, or they think would be of interest to people. And then a few years, I think it was actually 2016 was the last one that you did. So I figured we would do. We also have new directors and a lot of some new people on board that weren't around that then. So let's run into this morning and talk about the books they have. They are interested. Who we have with us today is Eric Jones, first year. He's the director of our three rivers library system, which is the northeast corner of the state, basically. Denise Harders is Central Plains Library System, straight down the middle of the state pretty much. Scott Childers is a Southeast Library System director, southeast corner. And then at the very end, and also at the end of the state, which is, this is not on purpose. You're happy to hear all those are interim director right now at our western library system, which is like the western end of our state. And we're just going to go through and have a talk about some of the books that they want to share. And I believe, so we're just going to get right into it now. And I believe first up is Denise. Yeah. All right. Well, most of my reading is done through audio books. So my reviews today are all books that I've listened to. They certainly helped pass the time as I drive through my system. And with this group of suspense novels, there were times I wanted to go around the block again. I kind of hated to stop when I got places. That's a sign of a big book. But the first one I'm going to talk about is Sunburn by Laura Litman. And it was read by Susan Bennett. And since Laura Litman's debut in 1997, she's won more than 20 awards for her fiction and has been nominated for more than 30 more. She's received critical acclaim for provocative, timely crime novels set in her hometown of Baltimore. This unabridged version lasts for nine hours. Polly and Adam meet in a small town restaurant. She a waitress, he the cook. They're both very complex with secrets that left me unsure who I should trust or who I should believe. Polly is on the run from her husband and a three year old daughter. What kind of mother leaves her young child. Adam is a private investigator who was hired to find Polly. Neither knows the whole story about the other. And they intend to keep it that way. There are plenty of twists and turns with both main characters spending a lot of time wondering if they can trust each other while trying to resist the attraction they feel. Sunburn is an entertaining psychological suspense novel with an intriguing storyline that kept me listening. Sounds very fun and frustrating. Yeah, like say you just didn't know who to trust every time you think oh well she must be a bad person and then something else that happened wasn't it. Yeah, good rating. All right, next up there. Most of my reading. Like nieces it's done off of audio books as we go to other things and we drive a lot. My reading tendency is more of a historical and historical fiction. I do a little other other readings but this first book that I have is the triumph of William McKinley and why the election of 1896 that still matters. Carl Lowe is the author. We don't often think of Carl Lowe, who is actually a mix most of his money as a political consultant. We don't think of him as particularly as an author, but he does have quite a list of books fiction and nonfiction to his name. This book is about is not a biography, but is a story of an election the election of 1896. If you remember the election or the timeframe is right after the reconstruction of the Civil War. And it is the time when the Republican Party takes back control of the United States government until the 1930s with the depression. One of the reasons why I read these kinds of books is the, you know, it's often said that those who do not remember the past or condemned to repeat it. There are many aspects of the election of 1896 that parallel the 2016 election. It is a time of change in the time of reflection. It is also a time when there was a great deal of conflict in the country for a political standpoint. William McKinley was running against Nebraska's William Jennings Bryant and his support of the farmers and returned to the old ways of doing things of the traditional ways of doing things. If you remember that the Bryant's, this is the time of Bryant's big speech of the cross of gold timeframe. Rove is a very, very energetic writer. He's easy to read, but at the same time he can keep your interest in what's going on. Again, I found this is a very interesting time. And while it may not be a perfect match, it does have some parallels to the election that we've just been through. Do you know exactly when was this published? This has a 2016 publication. And if I remember right, it came out before the November election. It's a writer on that time. Right. Next up. My book is the magic theme. As an elementary librarian for 20 years, there are some books that are just in my favorite collection. This is one of them. It was a golden sore nominee several years ago. Probably longer than I think it was. Anyway, this is by Sarah previous. It is the first of four in a series. She has written several other fiction books. This is probably third grade and third to sixth grade level. Meet Conwer. He is a thief by trade. And a thief is all that he thinks he will ever be. That is, until he steals a wizard's locus magic helix. It seems like an ordinary rock, but it almost killed him. The wizard tells Con that because the stone didn't kill him when he stole it, Con interested. So chapter one ends with this comment. The thing is, I make a good thief, me and my quick hands, but I'll make an even better wizard's apprentice. Now in Con's mind, he's going to be a wizard's apprentice, but in Nevery's mind, he's going to be a little slave. It's the first conflict that they come. The other two is there are a lot of wizards in their city, and there's a problem with the magic in the city that allows them to do magic. But they don't know what it is, and they all have the right answer, but it doesn't seem to be working. And so the other wizards look at Con as a gutter thief. That's what he was. That's what he'll always be. And two people are on Con's side, Nevery and Rowan, who is the Duchess's daughter. To be a wizard's apprentice, Con must find his own stone, his locus magic helix. Con never does anything the easy way, or with a shortcut. And so his stone ends up to be part of the royal headgear, a huge green stone that is, this is his, and he knows it is. So anyway, getting that mixed into the trouble of the magic of the city. So Con seems to think he knows what's going on, and getting someone to listen to him to fix it is a big part of the problem. You just get started in the story, and it seems like it's over, and then you're ready for the second one, and then the third one, and then the fourth one. So The Magic Thief by Sarah Creamy's excellent book. More magic. More magic. Actually, there's a lot of things that are similar to the magic thief. My first book is A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. And if you're familiar with Victoria Schwab, who publishes children's play A titles, V.E. Schwab is the pen name she uses for more adult fare. This is the first of the shades of magic series, but it certainly doesn't read like it. It does have a very complete beginning, middle, and there are some good spots where you could pick up the story threads for the rest of the series. But if you want to just give this a shot, it certainly doesn't suffer from sequelitis. You can get a one and die really good story with this. Speaking of story, the main character, one of the main characters, Kel, is the last of the race of magicians with this rare ability to travel between parallel dimensions. There are four dimensions, and all of that actually takes place around these paralleled London's around the 1840s. There's red London, where there is magic, and it's well appreciated. There's gray, there's white, and then the place that's been sealed off from all the others, black London. Each has their own names, each has their own settings, their own cultures. So you explore these different London's along with Kel. And Kel happens to accidentally bring a piece of rock from one of those places, and it gets him in a whole lot of trouble. I don't want to give away a lot of the twists and turns. There is a bit of mystery, but this really reads more like an adventure. You know, like when you're watching Indiana Jones, you know Indiana's going to be okay. It's a thrill ride that you're reading this for. It's not the super mystery. There is a touch of mystery, but it's really about the ride, the adventure that he had another point of view character you'll be introduced to the Lila Bar. And I want you to discover that plot thread on your own without hints from me, because that is part of the adventure, because it's different. London's you're not, you have to kind of learn four worlds in one story. It, like I said, it's published under VE Schwab, which is where most for adult fair is, but really this could be a young adult title to some of the more advanced readers. I really enjoyed it. And it was, it had magic, but it's not super heavy, you know, it's not Harry Potterdale. It's really focused on the limitations of those magic systems. So that's that. Another series I'm going to have to start and pick up. All right, you know, this one, The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Peckman, read by Julia Wham. It's another psychological suspense novel with enough twists to keep your head spinning. It is also a novel, a debut novel, first published novel by this writing team. And I like to listen to those a lot of times, because sometimes it's easier than reading honestly, because those debut novels, you never know which way they're going to go. But this one was a good one. The storyline is deceptively simple, husband, wife, mistress, but don't assume that you know what will happen. Meet Vanessa, the ex-wife with issues. She's jealous and obsessed with her replacement, Nellie. She's young and, you know, Nellie's young and pretty just like her former self, and Vanessa is having a hard time dealing with reality. Richard is the handsome but controlling husband. But what are Richard's motives? Vanessa is determined to keep Richard's marriage from happening and nothing will stop her. Now, like I say, you don't want to give too much away because this one is full of twists, turns, and crazy stuff happening. But the wife between us is a twisted and thrilling novel about relationships and marriage and friendship. But you need to go into it, into reading it as blind as you can. But assume nothing. The less you know, the better your reading or listening experience will be. Food. Food is something that interests us all. This is a, this was published in 2018, so it's a new book. It's an interesting book in a number of ways. It's sort of a travel log. It's sort of a mystery. And it's sort of a history book. It's the story of a fellow by the name of David Fairchild. He is from Kansas. He comes from a family of academics. His father was president at Kansas State and moved on to Michigan State comes from a family of Grandfather who was at Bria College and Oberlin College. And so he has quite a family of academics, but, but his interest is in agriculture and in plants. It takes place or at least it begins and just before the turn of the century. And David decides or he wants to become, he wants to see the world. He meets a number of people along the way. The book is, as I said, someone of a spy story. The Americans before the, before the 1900s diet was mostly sort of a meat and potato, pretty bland sort of traditional meal. And it was his, his job, working for the Department of Agriculture to look for other foods and to, to, although it wasn't necessarily the intent to diversify the offerings of farmers. At that time, we still knew and understood the idea of crop rotation and being able to do those kinds of things. He has many adventures. He spends a great deal of time in Southeast Asia in Indonesia. What's today Indonesia. This is X exploits that brings us hops to the United States. And Nebraska is now I was down down by a classmate the other day and notice that that is one of the crops that the department or the university is exploring about it about having in Nebraska. Kino Kino is a fruit that we all think about lately, it's been very much in the, in the news, but actually, he brought that to the United States, and to the American farmers in California, as early as 100 years ago. The problem is, is that it's a high altitude green. And so it doesn't grow very well, or it's taken time to develop growing it in our country. Anyway, it's a very exciting story. It's an easy read. There is a link to Nebraska. Fairchild is the nephew of one of the founding faculty and one of the early administrators for Dome College. My other interest in this is that he is a fourth or fifth cousin, something like that to my wife. And so it was interesting to at least to read a little bit about, although it's interesting that my family, her family I should say believe you nothing about had no idea of the relationship until we moved to Nebraska and we found out quite by accident that her grandfather was born in Asings. So anyway, if you're interested in food, if you're interested in history, if you're interested in where some of our foods come from. Chocomole, for instance, comes from avocados, which he introduced to the California pistachios he introduced to the California environment. So anyway, it's an interesting read. To me, I found it an exciting read, and it went very quickly. So it's a nonfiction sociobiography, or is it kind of storyfied a little? It's storyfied. Anglestone is a food writer, as I remember. And he kind of picked out a section or a time of Fairchild's life and looked at it between the time he began to work for the Department of Agriculture until the time he retired. For instance, I don't know if he remember, he probably don't, but when the President of France came to Washington this last spring, and he and Mr. Trump planted a tree in the White House ground. But as soon as it was planted, it was removed and went into quarantine. And that was one of the ideas or one of the things that they brought in order to try and prevent problems of coming into. And so all plants were brought in after the quarantine. But it has to do it. So anyway, it's an interesting book, and if you're interested in food and agriculture and farming. I'm sure a lot of people aren't. Alright, quote-makers just quote-makers give. This is kind of a nod to one of my new past times, which is quilting. The first thing that drew me to this book is the colors. The illustrations are amazing. They're bright. They're not muted at all. It has to do with the story itself. It is written by Jeff Brumbo and illustrated by Gail DeMarkin. It is about a woman who lived life well, and then life kind of did something to her. And so what she does is she makes these quilts for those who are homeless who have nothing. They are not ordinary quilts. They are quilts that seem to come from the colors of the earth. They're vibrant. They're just a work of art. We'll bring into the picture a king, and he's not just any king. He is a pampered, spoiled, egotistical, and very greedy king who has to have the best and the most beautiful of everything. That's it, because he has always gotten it. So he has heard about this quilt maker, and so he sends someone to say, I want a quilt, and she says she won't give one to him. And he goes, I have the king. And so, like a spoiled child, he does things to try to make her give him a quilt, but she refuses. So he finally says, okay, what must I do to get a quilt? And she says, give away everything we have. All of my treasures, and there's a picture, and it's like a see-can-find picture. There's so many things in this picture. And so he says, okay. And the first thing he gives away, he goes through everything, and he gives away a marble. That's the only thing he can give away. And all of his treasures is a marble. And he puts them on his own journey. And so this is the story of the quilt maker. All right, well, my second book is the fifth season by N.K. Jemisin. And as you can see in the slide there, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award is for Best Novel. But this was a Nebula and Mocha's nomination, plus various other nominations. And I don't want to say smaller awards, but you know, you've got the Hugo, Mocha, and Nebula. So this is also the first book of a series, the Broken Earth series. But again, it reads fairly complete for the beginning, middle, and things do kind of wrap up nicely at the end. But as far as feeling you've got the whole story, definitely, if you like the world and those type of things, you can move on to the rest of it. But you can read this, and I feel like, oh, now I have to read the second one because I didn't get a full story. You do get a nice full story arc in this one book. Reviews I've read about this have been kind of polarizing, actually, because it uses a rather different style of writing. One of you characters switch narrative type. You have second person narration, which is fairly rare, and then the traditional third person and so on. Some people should not get over that fact. But I would just say do it because it also brings another layer to the story that this is one of those that I went in blind and just I had this massive aha moment in the book and things fell together at that point. And I don't want to spoil that experience because that's what this would be his experience, but this this book, you can pull a little work into it. You know, especially, I know there's people who see a second person to go, wow, this is really written poorly. It's like, no, that's a creative choice, and it pays off. But you got a little bit of effort into this one compared to the other one that I talked about earlier when I was adventure. This is you're getting into it. There's a lot of descriptive. There's three point of view characters. And again, like we were talking about before, it might start going into too much of the plot. You're going to miss that really gratifying aha moment. But I will just say this is what you'll have to invest some time in. You'll have to get past maybe a prejudice against second person narration. But I think it'd be worth it. And it was one of more rewarding reads I had because of that. I put into a little bit effort in and digging it out. And he's good to get that kind of information in some of these book talks of that is still it was a story about but how is it to read. And that's a whole nother thing. You're going to think about something you're recommending book to somebody is do you like when people talk and 30 person first, whatever you have a preference. I'm not even sure if I have a preference. I mean, I've read all over the place and if the story was enough to get me involved. I'll just adjust to whatever the author chose how they chose to present. I tend to call it like this kind of chewy, right? It's not something you just take a big bite of swallow and that's it. You got to work at it a little bit. But yeah, you do the work and you're rewarded by it in my opinion. And there's more. It's a series. There is a series. But really, even just the first book for me was great. I will read the rest of series. But I did feel like I got a complete story or a guy this book. Moving on to Norah Roberts. Norah Roberts, like I'm saying, shelter in place is Norah Roberts most recent one read by January LaVoy. And this was not a stretch for me to listen to because I listened to pretty much every Norah Roberts novel I can get my hands on. So it wasn't it wasn't hard to do this one. I just really like the books I just do. This story is timely because it's about a mass shooting. And I feel like that was kind of a topic where she could get some backlash because it is something that goes on and we really don't want to highlight it. But the she handled it in an interesting way. When I, the, the opening of children places really shocking, and it drew me in right away. And when I hear about a mass shooting, I automatically think about those that lost their lives and about their loved ones because of course that's going to have to take care of first. And this story made me really consider what happens to the survivors and how their lives have been permanently changed. So the story is divided into three parts. The first part is the shortest part. It actually describes the mass shooting and how everybody at the Down East Mall reacts to the three active shooters. So that's, that's the short part. Then the second section is the longest section. It follows the lives of many of the survivors and their family members, and the family members of those that were lost that day. It talks about the different reactions. Some can't get far enough away. Some are stuck and angry. Others use that day to find the purpose in their lives. Then the third part happens 13 years after July 22, 2005. And that was the day of that shooting. And this is the part that is most like a Norah Roberts novel. That's, it includes a romance that develops between two of the characters. However, in the story, someone doesn't like how it all went down and once revenge on those who that individual feels like messed up their big plan for these massive casualties. So the question is, can this murderer be stopped like the shooters at the Down East Mall? Now it takes you more than 15 hours to listen to this book, but it's well worth every minute. Well, I want to thank Krista for this one. So you had an interview on your Wednesday with a lady from Kansas that did a story in a book on Carnegie. And in that she mentioned, or there was a mention of Carnegie's maid. So thank you. Awesome. Yeah. What he's made is a historical fiction. The character of Andrew Carnegie and his family are obviously characters that we all know and have been around for a while. The other character, the female character in this is actually in a culmination or a conglomeration or a mixture of the authors family history. This is the story of a young woman who comes to America comes to in the at the time of the Civil War, and through a series of mistakes. She gets a job in the Carnegie household. And that's where the title she becomes Andrew Carnegie's made actually she is the main for Andrew's mother. She becomes she becomes very friendly with Andrew and the story is a little bit like doubt and Abby meets meets the robber barons. There was a show on the history channel about the king pins of business in the 1890s, and a little bit of a mixture where it meets the Hallmark channel. Wow. But it is interesting. Again, in my interest with history. It is a fictionalized account of a of clock between classes. The main comes from a low class family in Ireland who has come to America as a result of the famine, potato famine. She is sent as a family representative to the United States to earn a living and be able to send money back to the old country back to the family. It is a history of the political times of Ireland, because the father gets himself into a little trouble with with the landowner and the family loses its loses its property loses its farm. The young lady becomes very as I said becomes very friendly with Mr Carnegie. This is Carnegie the mother is not quite as enthralled with this. And as much as the Andrew and the may attempt to keep things sort of on the low down on the QT, it becomes rather obvious that the two have become interested. The may becomes learns from Andrew in terms of business decisions. And that's one of the sad parts of the story because she does have family who worked for the Carnegie steel mills. And in the story it talks about the decisions that Andrew makes regarding various things and how it impacts the worker and how it impacts her family. And then she begins to realize that perhaps things aren't as benevolent as she thinks they are. Well, I will complete the story at that point, but I will tell you that it is an interesting read. If you are interested in hallmark kinds of books. If you are interested in semi historical things. So this might be a book that you might be interested in. I found it very interesting. And frankly, it did reach out to areas that I had not romances or not one of my reading areas. It's nice to expand your horizons. The session that Eric is talking about you can see it was when we actually did just in May. It's on our archives called big time library support in small towns, which would lead you to this kind of book, but it's because it was done by an author. And so she had a book where she researched Carnegie libraries in Kansas. So that's where the whole connection is and then had written a fiction novel based on her research of real libraries and arts centers and things like that in Kansas. So if you look at that we have the recording in presentation slides on our archives. Next. Yeah, farming. Sometimes I want to come out of comfort food one of my favorite comfort foods is homey chicken and noodles. It just makes them good. Well, this book is not a food per se, but it gives me that comfort it's that book that gives me a warm feeling after I read it the farmers written and illustrated by Mark movie. I met him at a reading conference in Denver. He lives in Colorado. This is one of many that he has written. Again, one of those first things that drew me to the book are the colors. The colors are very vibrant in this book. It is about a farmer. This farmer raises fruits and vegetables to sell at the market and that's how he makes his living. He has a few animals that he keeps very close to him. He's very milk cow, a pig, and in every picture is a little mouse that you get to find because he's not always in the right place. But as in our life, something that comes up that changes what or how we think life is going to handle us is the weather. And the first thing that comes along is a tornado and destroys his block. And so in order to buy feed for the next year, he has to sell one of his favorite animals. And it's to a neighbor who isn't a nice neighbor. It is hard to see an animal. We love an animal go and then, you know, so he gets through another year and then this same neighbor, his boys come and set fire to his farm. And so he loses his crops again another year. And so he can't afford to have seed. And so he has to sell another one of his favorite animals to this same farmer, the neighbor. Well, I won't tell you what happens, but it's a story about perseverance. It's a story about caring. It's a story about yeah, sometimes it's out of our control, but it's how we handle it and how we come back another time that makes us who we are. And so the story is that kind of comfort story for you. And this one I noticed when I was looking for the information that says this is a wordless picture book. It is not worth listening to them. Okay, that's some of the other ones are. I think another one of his, because I saw that mentioned in relation to him, I wasn't sure he's got a lot of things. Yes. Awesome. All right. And we have radiance radiance radiance by Catherine and Valentin. And, oh my gosh. Let me give you a little bit of advertising copy I found about this book. And radiance is a deckle punk pulp side by all history space opera mystery set in Hollywood, and the solar system. Wow, that's a lot of house after big, big concepts. So basically, take the technology of the jazz age right movies are just coming out radio is probably the primary mode of fast communication yet. Free some technology to about that, but they still develop space flight, and they still colonize the solar system. Okay, so you're talking jazz age technology jazz age attitudes towards Hollywood, you know the superstars that age, you know, and the directors are really important. But then you also have these crazy side by concepts like space whales. Right. Okay, so if I haven't blown your brain about this book, it's also written not linearly. And each chapter is like a different type of media like what will be transcripts from an interview with the main characters father. She's a director daughter of a famous director but she does her own thing she goes out to the solar system fights things like the chapters are like transcripts from from interviews from the director. Like you're watching a film clip of Severin record, you know, making the movie. The gossip columns of what Hollywood be saying about, you know, Severin becoming a debutant in that system in the Hollywood system of that age. Children's program showing why space whales are great. And in the book we're called Callowales. And so that plays a part of it. And so you got this crazy concept, right. And then you throw in this crazy way of presenting it. And it's a fabulous way of crazy. Just, here's the thing for me it was that experience of going through all of that and just awesome idea after awesome idea after awesome idea. The plot. I'll be honest the plot. I'm not reading for the plot I'm reading for this experiment in writing, and this experiment and ideas, and I try your world that they created. Yeah, so I was a university and universe world coming up with all these ideas that yeah. Yeah, and so like they're on this, this cruise ship out by, you know, the deeper part of solar system, and the radio broadcast to them. Well, we'll talk to you in was seven years, because they're going into a dark space where the radio signal won't ever catch them. So they'll, they'll have a long time where that ship will be its own culture. And just, and there are ideas in here that are set in passing like that. I was like, it's for that. That could be a whole book on its own. Exactly. Well, like I said, said with previous book, it's been polarized into reviews because it is so not like other sci fi books. It really. And I know I'm doing a disservice because there's so many other ideas that could be talking about but you know I have so much time. She's also wrote the girl who certainly navigated fairyland in a ship of row making. So some of you may be familiar with that work. I have not read that book, but I doubt it's this kind of experimental. If it is, I might have to find it. So I don't want to want to read this. Yeah. Yeah. And so here's the thing severance goes missing. And so you're getting this nonlinear description of severance. Why people think she's missing. There is a bit of a mystery, but again, that's not the point of why I love this book. I loved it because it was just so different. That said, I would recommend reading this in big chunks. So you don't lose track because of that method. This is not a read a little bit set it down come back a week later. Because it doesn't reflect directly back. It's got to be ready kind of big chunks where you really get. I think that I overwhelming picture. So is it is it sort of steampunkish. Yeah, take the idea of steampunk, but freeze technology just a little bit later. So, I mean, there's Deco punk, which is what this has been described as. There's diesel punk, which like around World War one, the World War two that time frame. I've heard some people say Flintstones was a prototypical stone punk. People love pinching going fiction into pop things now. I'm waiting for punk punk. But yeah, you know, if you're looking to for a different experience out of your book. This is one of those that gives it to you. Because it's not just I'm going to feed you a story. It's I'm good. I'm trying to feed you an experience. That's the way I'm getting it now. But yeah, I give it more than one chapter. If you're really want to give it a shot because the style of that first chapter may not be the style of most arrestable. All right, thank you. And that is our last book for our list today. All of our he said three different tiles. I just randomly said pick three. Anybody have any questions or comments about any books or anything you want to mention type of the question section. This is great as as I mentioned before we started looking at the list, get more things on my to want to read lists that I don't have time for but I'll figure it out. And I think it did a really good job. Yes, I was looking to get these slides that there's a lot of good variety here with the children's books and nonfiction, which I know some people have trouble getting into. I saw one of my best things. I've done things more like that. That's one that you have where it's kind of story of I nonfiction and I work better with reading those kind of things. So, I think this is great. And so we have the slides will be available afterwards with your recording. So if you're looking for these books and the titles and everything, you'll have access to those. And then just any questions is just the information about our four presenters this morning. Our order that we have. So if you do have any questions, let us know. Anything else you guys want to share is the last word of wisdom. I've got to, I left my mouse up here. Do you guys still work currently reading or? Sure, if you want to. Yeah, a few minutes. Is there something to read at the moment? Or do you want to read some of these right now? Well, I just finished the Nora Roberts one. And I haven't started in number one. So you're between books. I am between books. That's a crazy feeling. So I think that will wrap it up for today's show. As I said, the slides that are currently available probably tomorrow. And it'll be on our website, which I'm going to go to now. If you go to your search engine of choice and just search for any of the slides, which I did here earlier. So far, it's the only thing called that on the internet. So you can find this very easily. This is our main page with the upcoming shows, but right underneath there is our archives. And this is where they are listed here. Most recent one of the top of list. So this is last week's about ditching, do we? Today's will be there at the top of list probably by tomorrow. Everyone who attended this morning or registered for today's show will be sent an email directly from me letting you know when it's available and ready. We also post that out to our various social media and mailing lists as well. Let everyone know. I'll also let you know while we're here on the archives. These archives are searchable. As you can see, you have a search option here where you can search the entire history of the show or just less recent 12 months. If you want something really new, more data information. And this is the entire history of the show. This is that we are in right now. 2018 is the 10th year of Encampus Live. And we do have all thank you. Still not strong. We do have all of our archives here. So we are librarians. So that's what we do. We save an archive historical things. So I'm going to scroll down here and you'll see this goes all the way back to the very beginning and you can see the dates that are there on to the right. So as you're going through these archives and looking for things to run a search on the entire list, be aware that if I get this all the way to the bottom, close your eyes, you'll be busy. This does go all the way back to 2009, our very first shows. So as you're going through this, realize if everything's stated so you'll know, okay, I'm watching something from the 2009 to the 10 or 11, it might not be correct anymore. The information might be old. That service or resource might no longer exist. You never know. So keep that in mind as you are watching many of these archives, but certain things are eternal. So you'll definitely still find some good things out there and we'll keep adding to this list as we go just keeping all of our historical items on there. So that's where the archives will be. I hope you join us next week when our topic is Excel for Librarians. This is a very, I'm going to be a very useful session. Megan Boggs is at Seward Memorial Library and Seward University just down the road from us here. And she's going to come and talk about how you can use Excel in a variety of ways to help you do your work at your library. Lots of things that you can do with Excel. For some people, for me, it can be intimidating. I use it for lots of things. I'm not, there's so many things like doing formulas and having to do the work for you that kind of goes over my head a lot. So hopefully Megan will help us learn a lot more about that next week. So please do sign up for that. We have our other August shows listed here. I also have ones that are, you know, working on September 1st, don't panic, there will be more added. I'll leave down some speakers and some descriptions of the shows. So keep an eye on this and look at it for what our upcoming shows are. And Compass Live is also on Facebook.
