National Recovery Month (Recovery Month) is a national observance held every September to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life.

Known for her harshly accurate portrayals of Nebraska life on the plains and in the city in the early twentieth century, Mari Sandoz is one of the state’s most cherished authors. Born in 1896 near Hay Springs in northwestern Nebraska, she used her experience on the family farm to inform her early works. Under her domineering father, Mari’s schooling and writing ambitions were neglected in favor of working on the farm and helping to raise her siblings. Despite never attending high school she was able to receive a rural teaching certificate. After a brief, turbulent marriage, she enrolled in the University of Nebraska in 1922 as a special adult student and began writing short stories for contests and newspapers.

Happiness Happens Month is celebrated annually in August. It is dedicated to celebrating things that make you happy.

One of the things I dislike the most about summer is mosquitoes! You see, when I get a bite it swells up and itches like I have chicken pox. Since it is personally unbearable to receive one of these bites, you will rarely find me outdoors in the summer. Recently I discovered that there are natural insect repellents and now to find out that there are plants that actually repel pesky insects, I just had to share this wonderful news!
We have received the following titles in the last quarter.
