Have you ever wondered… What does it feel like to ride the runners behind a team of dogs, steering a loaded sled through mountainous terrain, crossing the vast Alaskan tundra, hugging the shoreline of the great Bering Sea? What does it take to care for a team of Alaskan huskies? Could my dog be a sled dog, too?Musher, Karen Land, will cover these subjects and more when she and Sophia, the Alaskan husky, visit the North Manchester Public Library for North America Week!
Land is a writer, public speaker, and three-time participant in the 1000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race as well as many other sprint and endurance races in Alaska, Canada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Maine. Since 2000, Land has traveled to nearly every state with her dog sled, mushing gear, Arctic clothing, and beloved dogs, giving over a thousand school and public library presentations.
Join us in the Blocher Community Room to hear her amazing stories and meet Sophia the sled dog as we celebrate the North American continent as part of our Around the World in 60 Days Summer Reading Adventure!
