Bess Streeter Aldrich, a Nebraska Hall of Fame author, is not as widely known today as her accomplishments might suggest. While living in small-town Nebraska, she wrote seven best-selling novels and most of her 160 short stories. She was also one of the highest-paid and most widely read authors of the 1930s. During this Table Talk, the Aldrich Foundation will introduce librarians from across Nebraska and the Mountain Plains region to Aldrich’s life and work, as well as the free book club materials and Humanities Nebraska programs available to them. The goal is to equip librarians with resources they can share with patrons and use to introduce new generations of readers to Aldrich’s work.
