Work Song, with
Ivan Doig, Eagle Harbor Books
Wednesday June 30th 7:30 PM
"If America was a melting pot, Butte would be its boiling point," observes Morrie Morgan, the itinerant teacher, walking encyclopedia, and inveterate charmer last seen leaving a one-room schoolhouse in Marias Coulee, the stage he stole in Ivan Doig's 2006 The Whistling Season. A decade later, Morrie is back in Montana, as the beguiling narrator of Work Song.
"The most tumultuous, quirky, and fascinating city in the American West of the last century has finally found a storyteller equal to its stories. ... Ivan Doig brings to life the core of humanity, and a hell of cast, amidst the shadows and sorrows of Butte, Montana -- a city that could say it never slept well before New York made a similar claim."-Tim Egan, author of The Last Hard Time and The Big Burn

KIDS SUMMER BOOK CLUB at Liberty Bay Books in Poulsbo Wednesdays 11AM - Noon
KIDS SUMMER BOOK CLUB
We are once again having FREE summer book club for kids. What FREE means is kids come with their parents to this first meeting given you will be reading advanced copies of books. Parents need to review the content of the book for their children as many of these books are new and the staff here has not read them. Kids can pick 1-2 books at a time, then bring them back any time to pick other books. If they liked the book, we'd like a quick review. They didn't like it we want to know that too.
