STAFF PICKS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE ARE; <\/strong>\u201cThe Memory Keeper\u2019s Daughter\u201d by Kim Edwards \u201cA Circle of Wives\u201d by Alice LaPlante, \u201cTreasure Hunt\u201d by John L\u2019Escroart and this week\u2019s feature is \u201cFinding Gobi\u201d by Dion Leonard. (from book jacket)<\/p>\n

In 2016, Dion Leonard, a seasoned ultramarathon runner, unexpectedly stumbled across a little stray dog while competing in a gruelling <\/em>155 mile race across the Gobi Desert. The lovable pup, who earned the name \u2018Gobi\u2019, proved that what she lacked in size, she more than made up for in heart, as she went step for step with Dion over the treacherous Tian Shan Mountains, managing to keep pace with him for nearly 80 miles.<\/em><\/p>\n

As Dion witnessed the incredible determination of this small animal, he felt something change within himself. In the <\/em>past he had always focused on winning and being the best, but his goal now was simply to make sure that his new friend was safe, nourished and hydrated. Although Dion did not finish first, he felt he had won something far greater and promised to bring Gobi back to the UK for good to become a new addition to his family. This was the start of a journey neither of them would ever forget with a roller coaster ride of drama, grief, heartbreak, joy and love that changed their lives forever.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finding Gobi is the ultimate story of hope, of resilience and of friendship, proving once again, that dogs really are \u2018man\u2019s best friend.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

BOARD MEETING:\u00a0<\/strong>The Wawa Public Library next monthly Board Meeting will be held on Monday, June 17th, 2019 at the Wawa Public Library beginning at 7:00 pm.\u00a0 All are welcome to attend!<\/p>\n

NEWSPAPERS<\/strong>: \u00a0<\/strong>The Wawa Public Library receives weekly publication of the Algoma News as well as the Sault Star on a daily basis (no paper Sunday and Monday).\u00a0 This is another great reason to stop in and check out the Wawa Public Library.\u00a0Please note that in order to avoid putting old newspapers in the landfill; we have a have a stack available for anyone who may need them for craft material, packing or for their woodstoves.<\/p>\n

DONATIONS<\/strong>: <\/strong>\u00a0The Wawa Public Library welcomes the donation of gently used DVDs and books!\u00a0 What we don\u2019t catalogue we put in our book sales.\u00a0 Thank you in advance for supporting the library!<\/p>\n

INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICES <\/strong>\u2013We have resumed our Interlibrary loan service.\u00a0 We are still unclear of the long term outlook for this service.\u00a0 We can only wait and see how libraries cope with the budget cuts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now clear that provincial cuts to the Ontario Library Service will impact programs and services beyond Interlibrary Loan.\u00a0 The diminished capacity of OLS-North to deliver those programs will negatively impact our public libraries, and we believe that even programs and services that are maintained will operate at a reduce capacity due to extensive personnel cuts.<\/p>\n

We believe these cuts have disproportionately and unfairly impacted libraries in Northern Ontario and jeopardize our ability to provide equitable library service in the North.\u00a0 We are also dismayed that the Government chose to make these cuts without undertaking any consultation with Northern libraries about what the impact could be on our organizations and our patrons.\u201d QUOTED FROM\u00a0 \u201cA STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF NORTHERN ONTARIO PUBLIC LIBRARIES.\u201d<\/p>\n
