SUMMARY:Saturday Storytime & Author Reading
DESCRIPTION:Join local author Kathryn Hartley read from her new novel Castle Mountain at The Nelson Public Library \nAuthor Reading at 10:30am \nFollowed by crafting from 11am to noon \nBook will be available for  purchase \nSynopsis: \nMOUNTAINS CAN BE MAGICAL PLACES.\nBUT DANGER IS NEVER FAR AWAY. \nThere were two things Joanie knew for certain when she woke up that morning:\n1. There was no way Mom was going to let any of them\nget out of marching up a mountain today.\n2. She didn’t want to be a part of this family any more. \nEvery May long weekend Joanie’s mom made the family do their traditional spring hike. At nine\, Joanie thought she was old enough to go stay at a friend’s instead of trudging up a mountain. But Chloe\, her annoying older sister\, and Matt\, her self-centered brother\, had both tried that before and it had never worked for them. So she knew she was doomed to do it again today. They all were. When Mom said jump\, they all jumped. Even Dad. And Dad was sick. No one talked about it but you’d have to be stupid not to notice. \nThen there was Chloe and Matt. Both teenagers. Both with attitude. The thought of spending a whole day with them\, with no escape\, made her want to turn into a little black beetle and crawl under the bed. \nThe magic and mystery of Castle Mountain will hold all their lives in its stony grip. Joanie and her family will be challenged beyond anything they have ever faced before. Will they be able to overcome what the mountain has in store?

SUMMARY:Valley Deep\, Mountain High – Tom Wayman Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:West Kootenay author Tom Wayman will launch two new books—a prose memoir and a collection of poems. \nWayman’s memoir\, from BC’s Harbour Publishing\, is entitled The Road to Appledore or How I Went Back to the Land Without Ever Having Lived There in the First Place. The book covers Wayman’s adventures and misadventures since moving to the Slocan Valley in 1989. Besides accounting for the author’s reasons for relocating from Vancouver\, the book describes his life in the Valley over three decades via the four seasons and the four classical elements: water\, fire\, earth and air. \nWayman’s new collection of poems\, How Can You Live Here? from Alberta’s Frontenac House\, gathers poems originally published in such journals as The Walrus\, Queen’s Quarterly\, and The Hudson Review. The poems look at the human and natural communities of the Slocan Valley through a more lyrical lens\, although 21st Century issues appear\, too\, including a section on living through the recent pandemic in a rural setting. \nWed May 29th\, Nelson Public Library
