Thank you to all who helped us celebrate Canadian Library Month, First Nations Public Library Week and Ontario Public Library Week! It has been a very busy month and we all had a blast!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Wawa Public Library\u2019s Ontario Public Library Week festivities culminated with the beautiful vocals of Isabella and Doris. They always put on a wonderful and entertaining show. We had a great crowd and it was a great afternoon! Thank you, Isabella and Doris!<\/p>\n

Our \u201cShow Us Your Library Card\u201d promotion was a hit and we had many people come in and show us their library card and many new patrons registered for a library card! Thank you to all who participated! The winner for the adult prize was Hillel and the kids prize went to Nya! Congratulations to both! Their photos will be posted next week<\/p>\n

The Halloween Costume Prize went to Chase! Thank you to all who came in and showed us their costumes on such a miserable day. It was fun to see the kids get excited for Trick or Treating!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In all the excitement this month, I forgot to post pics of the Pokemon Party! We had prizes to give away, games to play, cake to eat and of course Pokemon and Pokemon cards to battle and trade! Everyone had a great time and we hope to see you at the next Pokemon Club on Saturday, November 16th, beginning at 11am!<\/p>\n

Staff Pick of the Week is \u201cThe Call of the Last Frontier\u201d by Melissa L. Cook. “I went to Alaska searching for a job and found an adventure!” \u2014Melissa L. Cook<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all here\u2014living in bush Alaska, fighting off men, packing a pistol for bear protection, suffering the ravages of weather, flying with white-knuckled fear, facing down hundred-mile an hour winds as well as fearing erupting volcanoes. And that\u2019s only part of their journey. You had to be there. Oh, wait. Melissa\u2019s book takes you there.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1995, Melissa Cook and her young family moved to the tiny village of Nelson Lagoon on the Bering Sea coast and later to Prince of Wales Island in the Tongass National Forest, where they measured rain in feet. She discovered humor in unique situations found only in the Last Frontier. Her true story captures the essence of bush life, intriguing neighbors, and life with multiple sclerosis. Historical tidbits are sprinkled throughout this riveting tale where adventure arrived on the Cook\u2019s doorstep daily for 20 years in this world of few luxuries or conveniences. This tale is sure to delight Alaska adventure fans.<\/em><\/p>\n

“This book helped me live adventures I’ll never have but desperately want.\u201d \u2014Aaron Linsdau, Polar Explorer, best-selling of author of Antarctic Tears<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA well-written and accurate description of the raw edge of Alaska. A phenomenal read with a goosebump ending.\u201d \u2014Larry Kaniut, best-selling author of the Alaska Bear Tales Series<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAn inspiring story of strength and grit.\u201d \u2014Ann Parker, best-selling author of Follow Me to Alaska<\/em><\/p>\n
