Book of the Week:
This week we're featuring a newly acquired book that would appeal to readers of west coast history. The Sea Runners by Ivan Doig is a novel based on an actual story of four Scandinavians working as slaves for the Russians in 1853, present day Alaska who manage to escape. The period is deftly recreated, and the narrative written at a good, even pace. For those who like a bit of harrowing adventure, this is for you!

Book of the Week!

A new addition to the Library, this book about Dennis Johnson was written and produced by Sarah and Peter Dixon in 1979. The story portrays Dennis's experiences at the age of thirteen, growing up on Gilford Island. The book is written with a youthful reader in mind, yet is good reading for anyone interested in boats, fishing and First Nations culture in a small coastal community. There are numerous very good black and white photos!
