My goodness this video is late! The library has been delightfully busy since school has been out, but I finally had a chance to sit down and record what we discussed in week 3 for anyone who missed that Saturday. Week 4 will be coming out soon. As of right now, week 4 is the final learning circle session, but we are open to bringing it back if there is enough demand.

Do we have an opportunity for Cozad youth on Wednesday, June 17! We're partnering with Nebraska Extension to host a one-day program from 9am-3pm for those 11 years and older to become certified in babysitting! The class is perfect for those looking to pursue a summer job as a babysitter or who babysit for families on an occasional basis. Covered topics include child development, child safety, nutrition, general care, and the actual business of babysitting. Students will create their own babysitting kit to take with them, too. Registration is required by calling us at 308-784-2019 or by stopping by the front desk beginning May 1. Class is limited to 15 persons aged 11 or older. Lunch is provided. The cost of the class is covered by Wilson Public Library.

You have until May 31 (Sunday!) to nominate a book for the 2027 One Book One Nebraska selection process. See below if you're interested
------------------

The Nebraska Center for the Book invites recommendations for One Book One Nebraska book selection. The Center for the Book will consider books written by a Nebraska author (living or dead/with current or former residence in the state,) or that have a Nebraska theme or setting. Books should have a broad appeal to readers across Nebraska and lend well to group book discussion. Books may be fiction, non-fiction, biography, memoir, or poetry. They must be in print and readily available. The Center for the Book strongly suggests that anyone who nominates a text should have read it.

Nominations can now be submitted year-round! The annual deadline is May 31. Nominations received after the deadline will be considered in the following year. To nominate a book for 2027 One Book One Nebraska, you can fill out this Online Form: https://centerforthebook.nebraska.gov/obon-nomination.asp
