NCompass Live - March 24, 2021 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/NCompassLive/ In 2014, the Nebraska Library Commission started a regular blog series, Friday Reads. Every Friday, one of the NLC staff writes a post about a book they have read and enjoyed. During the past year, we have continued sharing what we’ve been reading to cope, relax, educate, or escape from the world as we currently know it. Join us as some of the NLC staff chat about just a few of the books they have reviewed in the last 12 months. You’ll be sure to find something new for you or your library’s collection. NLC Staff Presenters: Christa Porter, Library Development Director; Aimee Owen, Information Services Librarian; Susan Knisely, Online Services Librarian; Sally Snyder, Coordinator of Children and Young Adult Library Services; Tessa Terry, Communications Coordinator.
