UPCOMING EVENTS

TUESDAY, FEB 11: THE SUN IS A COMPASS: MY 4,000-MILE JOURNEY INTO THE ALASKAN WILDS 5:30 pm, Winthrop Library

Alaskan author Caroline Van Hemert presents The Sun Is a Compass, which chronicles her 4,000-mile human-powered expedition from the Pacific rainforest to the Arctic coast. For six months, Caroline and her husband, Pat, crossed some of the most remote and rugged places left on earth. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, the book explores the bounds of the human body and the tenuousness of life in the company of creatures whose daily survival is nothing short of miraculous. 

This event is free. To reserve a seat for this sure-to-be-popular event, go to https://ncwlibraries.libcal.com/event/13813039

Trail’s End Bookstore will be on hand for the book signing and reception after the talk. You can pre-purchase the book at Trail’s End Bookstore.
