Last Friday, University of Nebraska-Lincoln libraries hosted a celebration for Ted Kooser at the Van Brunt Visitors Center. Ted recently donated a collection of manuscripts, journals, workbooks and correspondence from 1966-2010 to the libraries. Ted Kooser has published many books with UNP such as Valentines, Local Wonders and The Blizzard Voices, just to name a few.

University and community members gathered to celebrate Ted's work and to thank him for his donation.
