Meticulous Midwest Political Biography Featured in LibraryBub Selection for January

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Patrick O'Brien puts forward the idea that political biographers either "present their subjects as extraordinary and omnipotent" or as "individuals whose characteristics and actions form the basis of generalizations about the government of the day". Stephen L. Wilson's South Dakota Crusader brings attention to the extraordinary character of Francis Case, member of the Congress from 1937 to 1962. Acclaimed by the Midwest Book Review, "this portrait offers an inspiring example of resilience, decency and purposeful living in the expanding ideological and media landscapes of the 20^th century." The reviewer considers it "a well-deserved tribute and a testament to honor in American governance". K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite appraises it as "a compelling biography that sheds light on an often-overlooked figure in American political history, offering valuable lessons and inspiration for readers interested in leadership, perseverance and civic engagement".

LibraryBub is an industry first. Established in 2015, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. It is dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Novelist Urve Tamberg reflects on her childhood. "Growing up as an only child, I loved books and stories. I won't be cliche and say that books were my only friends; they weren't. But I was the child who went to the library on a sunny summer day.  My mother constantly told me to go outside and play. I had a plan to read all the books in the library, starting with the authors whose last name started with A. I'm still working on that." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.
