LUNCH WITH BOOKS: Iditarod Dog Mushing with Karen Land, Noggin, and Chloe

May 02, 2023
12:00pm - 1:00pm

Karen Land—writer, public speaker, and three-time participant in the 1,049-mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race across Alaska—and her sled dogs will give us a fun interactive presentation. Karen loves providing "mushing" talks for enthusiastic library patrons. Dog mushing, a traditional mode of arctic transportation, is a unique subject that inspires discussion of diverse topics from climate change to literature (Gary Paulsen and Jack London) to the arts and physical education-- the options for exploration are endless. Karen says her Alaskan husky Noggin, and corgi-spring mix Chloe are the stars of the show. She will bring her actual Iditarod dog sled, gear, and arctic clothing.

In addition to being in-person in the Library auditorium, this program will be available to watch live on Facebook Live, on YouTube, and on the OCPL website's LWB Livestream page.  Log into your Facebook or YouTube account during the program to leave questions for our presenters in the comments box.
