Von E. Martin, author of
A LONG WAY TO NOME: The Serum Run '25 Expedition
Tuesday, September 14 @ 7 p.m.
Olympic Room, Main Library
In 2009 the Serum Run '25 Expedition set out to retrace the original 1925 route across Alaska to deliver lifesaving antitoxin by dog teams to Diphtheria stricken Nome. To prepare for the arduous journey, Washington state musher Von Martin meticulously assembled 1,200 lbs of supplies, trained his team of twelve huskies for hundreds of miles, and made the long midwinter drive to Alaska. What he did not anticipate was the worst Alaskan winter in decades. Cut off from the expedition's support party and faced with an impassable trail, Von Martin and the Serum Run '25 mushers are forced into a heartbreaking decision for their expedition and their faithful dogs. Join Von Martin as he shares his heartfelt story through journal excerpts, photographs, and narratives, all the exhilaration, hardship, and life lessons learned from his huskies during an attempt to cross the Alaskan wilderness by dog team.

Liar, Liar, A new mystery
Wednesday, September 29 @ 7 p.m.
Olympic Room, Main Library
LIAR, LIAR is the first book in a riveting, new series introducing P.I. Cat DeLuca and her Pants On Fire Detective Agency. Cat isn't your typical private dick (or jane) and she won't find your long lost Uncle Harry for you. She's the one to call if you find lipstick on your husband's shorts. Cat DeLuca catches cheaters. No one nails an 8X10 glossy better. This is one of those books you can't put down. A funny and smart page-turner from first till last.
One day three sisters, linked by a voracious love of mysteries, set off to write their own. Julianne, Kristen and Kari Larsen, (horse trainer, minister and irreverent baker) deliver a sizzling read and easy smile. Liar Liar is the first book in the Cat DeLuca mysteries. The sisters live in the Pacific Northwest and Chicago area and are currently at work on Cat's next, most fabulous adventure. Learn more at their website. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

Close your eyes and think back to the music you loved as a kid: Schoolhouse Rock, early Sesame Street and the Electric Company. Now don't you wish someone would create music like that for your kids? Music that was simultaneously intelligent, witty, and musically REEE-DICULOUS? Get ready for the Board of Education!
As the premier children's music website Zooglobble puts it, the Board of Education's debut record is like nothing else you'll hear in the kids music world. Or, take it from the Seattle Times when they say: "It is the rare record that you can bring to your pre-teen kids without steeling your nerves against six months of repeated plays and an onslaught of cartoon earworms. The BoE did it right."
With songs like The Lonely Tomato, 8 Is A Number, Volcanoes and You and The Many Uses, and Dangers, of Commas - parents and kids will have a blast! The Board of Education will rock your world! Learn more at their website.
