Larry Watson, a BSC alum and author of numerous books, including our first Campus Read selection, Montana 1948, and our Spring 2014 selection, American Boy, was named the 2013 recipient of the MPLA (Mountain Plains Library Association) Literary Contribution Award at the SDLA/NDLA/MPLA Tri-conference last week.
The MPLA Literary Contribution Award is "To be given to an author whose published writings have successfully furthered an understanding and appreciation of the Mountain Plains region. The author need not reside in the region, and the selection may be based on either a single work or a body of works. Published works will be evaluated on the basis of literary worth, readability, and evidence of responsible research."
Watson will visit our campus in March as part of our Campus Read activities. Watch for more details!
Check the BSC Library's catalog for books by Larry Watson. Good reading!
