“Stories from Nebraska’s Agricultural History: Water” Presented by Jody Lamp @ Lied Scottsbluff Public Library

Author and historian Jody Lamp honors Nebraska’s agricultural history with stories of the spaces, places, inventions, commodities, events, and people that made Nebraska one of the top agricultural states in the nation and gave rise to such slogans as “The Beef State” and “The Cornhusker State.” Lamp will enlighten and entertain with important and little known stories about the role of water in the development of western Nebraska, the digging of our irrigation ditches and canals, and our state’s unique governance by local Natural Resource District boards. This event is open to the public. It is also a special event for the Scottsbluff Public Library’s Adult Reading Program. If you are registered in the Adult Reading Program and attend this event, you will receive an entry into the reading program’s grand prize drawing. Adults can also register for the reading program at the event. Humanities Nebraska (HN) provides major funding for this program. HN receives support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Nebraska State Legislature, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and private donations.
