The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Hello,

 

I'm writing from the Alaska Talking Book Center because we're starting a new
program that may be of interest: the Virtual Alaska Story Hour for Adults.
This is open to all Alaska residents.

 

Registration is free but required, so that we can get the login information
to attendees.

Story hours for kids are great, but why should they get all the fun? Join us
for the kickoff of the new Virtual Alaska Story Hour as author Mark Adams
helps us get started with his book, Tip of the Iceberg.  We'll continue

MARK ADAMS <https://www.markadamsbooks.com/>  is the award-winning author of
books that blend history, geography, and the modern experience.  He has also
been published in national publications, including GQ, Rolling Stone,
Outside and the New York Times. He lives near New York City with his family.

2F%2FSD_ILS%2F0%2FSD_ILS%3A3177982%7EILS%7E4&h=8> , Adams follows the path
of the 1899 Harriman Expedition, exploring where, how, and why things have
changed.or stayed the same. The Anchorage Daily News says that "with its
fresh descriptive writing, strong character development and presentation of
contemporary Alaska within a historical framework, is a valuable
contribution to our state's literature. Long-time Alaskans as well as
newcomers and visitors will find much to appreciate here." 

 

All the best,

Freya
