by Paige Greer 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

Bonjour! We have a really exciting author talk scheduled in September via Zoom that may be of interest to you. Described as one of the “greatest living explorers” by CBC, Adam Shoalts is known for mapping rivers, tracking endangered species, participating in archeological digs, and completing a nearly 4,000 km solo trek across Canada’s Arctic. Beyond the Trees is Shoalts’s nearly four month journey “weaving through ice floes, facing down snarling bears and galloping musk-ox, and paddling under the midnight sun in a land as old as time” and conveys “why we urgently need to save vast wild places while it’s still possible.” Join us to hear Shoalts’s firsthand accounts of his time in the wilderness. Our ‘Beyond the Trees’ event will take place via Zoom on September 22 from 7:00-8:00 PM. You can register here: https://www.brandonlibrary.org/event/beyond-the-trees/ Au revoir, -- *Paige Greer* Librarian Pronouns: She/Her - See www.mypronouns.org to learn more*.* Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville, MI 48462 248-627-1460 *ENGAGE • EDUCATE • ENRICH • EMPOWER*
