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.”
The event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase for $19.99, with additional copies stocked at A to Z Books in North Platte. Refreshments will be served, and attendees will have the chance to participate in a Q&A session with the author.
The Community Reads program has been active since 2018 and is modeled after similar successful initiatives like One Book One Lincoln.
