Carson Vaughan, author of Zoo Nebraska,
at the library on Tuesday, April 16th at 7:00 p.m.

We are thrilled to have Carson Vaughan, Broken Bow High School graduate and freelance writer, visit the library in April. Carson’s first book, Zoo Nebraska, has just been released and he is including Broken Bow on his book release tour of the state.
A press release of the book says “written in the tradition of some of our best American reportage—think Susan Orlean, John McPhee, Truman Capote, or ‘This American Life’— Zoo Nebraska is a resonant true story of small town politics and community perseverance, and of decent people and questionable choices.”
Plan to be at the library for Carson’s visit. The evening will include a short reading, time for questions, as well as an opportunity to hear about his freelance reporting. You can also buy Zoo Nebraska and have Carson sign your copy. This author visit is sponsored by the Broken Bow Library Foundation.

Book discussion

Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris

Monday, May 20th at 7:00 p.m.

2 CHILDREN FOR SALE 
The sign is a last resort. It sits on a farmhouse porch in 1931 but could be found anywhere in an era of breadlines, bank runs and broken dreams. It could have been written by any mother facing impossible choices. For struggling reporter Ellis Reed, the gut-wrenching scene evokes memories of his family’s dark past. He snaps a photograph of the children, not meant for publication. But when it leads to his big break, the consequences are more devastating than he ever imagined. At the paper, Lillian Palmer is haunted by her role in all that happened. She is far too familiar with the heartbreak of children deemed unwanted. As the bonds of motherhood are tested, she and Ellis must decide how much they are willing to risk mending a fractured family. Inspired by an actual newspaper photograph that stunned the nation, Sold on a Monday is a powerful novel of love, redemption, and the unexpected paths that bring us home.

 If you are interested in participating in the discussion and need a copy of the book, please contact us at 872.2927 and we’ll save a copy for you.
