At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
In 1789, Alexander Mackenzie traveled 1,200 miles on the immense river in Canada that now bears his name, in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. Iraq War veteran Brian Castner retraces Mackenzie’s gruelling route, paddling a solo canoe in his latest book ‘Disappointment River.’
After her grandmother’s imaginary world comes to life, a teen girl must enter it and rescue her mother in Melissa Albert’s ‘The Hazel Wood.’
Preschool Story Time is this Wednesday at 11 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., and Toddler Story Time is 10 and 11 a.m. Both will be all about ‘water.’ Baby Laptime Thursday at 10 a.m.
