At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
In ‘The Pursuit of Endurance,’ Jennifer Pharr Davis describes how she broke the world record for hiking the Appalachian Trail, which she did in 46 days, 11 hours, and 20 minutes. Davis (pictured above) will also be visiting the library on July 28.
‘Finding Dorothy’ is the fictionalized story of how L. Frank Baum’s widow tried to keep her husband’s vision true during MGM’s filming of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ in 1939.
StoryTime and Baby LapTime are both on hiatus until September. Our Summer Reading Club is right around the corner. Keep checking this column for details, or contact us at the Library.
