Great Bear Adventure to be Screened Again

Back by popular demand, Mary Sanderson will again share her nine-day kayaking trip in the Great Bear rainforest in British Columbia as a Novel Destinations program Friday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m., at the library.
She will share stories and photos from her trip along the Canadian coast organized by Mothership Adventures, a sponsor for Novel Destinations along with the Library Foundation.
The vast, sodden land encompasses 1,000-year-old cedars, waterfalls spouting off the sides of moss-covered mountains, granite-dark waters, and glacier-cut fjords.
This remote expanse is home to many First Nations communities as well as abundant wildlife: coastal gray wolves, grizzly bears, Sitka deer, cougars, mountain goats, orca, salmon, sea lions, sea otters, humpback whales, and its most celebrated resident, the rare, cream-colored Kermode bear, or sprit bear, considered sacred by the T'simshian people.”
The program is free, but donations are welcome.
Anyone with a travelogue to share at the library is asked to contact the Library Foundation at 208-769-2380 or by e-mail at cdalibraryfoundation@gmail.com.
