The North Platte Public Library will welcome Nebraska author Colby Coash this Saturday, June 14 at 1 p.m. for its next "Author Talk," hosted by the library’s One Book 4 North Platte: Lincoln County Reads committee.

Coash, who grew up near the Niobrara River in Bassett, Nebraska, will discuss his book Running Naked, a memoir that reflects on personal challenges, healing, and renewal. This marks the first time since 2019 that a featured author has visited the group in person.

“This is our seventh book, and only the second time we've featured a Nebraska author,” said committee member Sherry Polk. “It’s really exciting to have someone local whose story can resonate with our community.”

Polk spoke with EAGLE'S Paxton Gordon
