with prizes for winners.
Nebraska Book Awards Author
The Nebraska Book Awards program, sponsored by the Nebraska Center for the Book (NCB), recognizes and honors books that are written by Nebraska authors, published by Nebraska publishers, set in Nebraska, or concerning Nebraska. The Nebraska Book Award Author Roundtable panel will feature authors who received one of this year's awards. They will also be able to make a short speech when they recieve their award on stage in the Auditorium.
Join for two panels where the authors will discuss their winning books.
One Book One Nebraska Author Talk
The One Book One Nebraska program, which began in 2005, encourages Nebraskans to read and discuss a selected book each year.
The book is either written by a Nebraska author or has a Nebraska theme or setting. A committee from the Nebraska Center for the Book chooses the book from nominations submitted by Nebraskans.
Libraries across the state organize book discussions, activities, and events to foster community engagement with literature. This initiative celebrates Nebraska’s literary heritage and promotes reading and dialogue among residents.
One Book One Nebraska is sponsored by Nebraska Center for the Book, Humanities Nebraska, and Nebraska Library Commission.
