Title Wave Books

Join us in welcoming local author, Naomi Klouda to Title Wave Books on June 8th!
From 12pm-3pm come meet and talk with Naomi about her book The Alaska Glacier Dictionary and even get a signed copy!
“The Alaska Glacier Dictionary gives A-Z references to 700 named glaciers in Alaska. It serves as a handy reference for travelers and armchair adventurers alike. The Last Frontier has waited a long time to receive this first-ever dictionary in book form, detailing glaciers in one volume for quick alphabetical reference. A great contribution to Alaska guidebooks and a dramatic read, given the present state of glacial melt. I sat down with it and didn’t get back up again for hours.” – Natasha Omoff, Alaska Travel Guide
Naomi Klouda is a long-time Alaska journalist, author of Anna’s Whale and a diligent researcher who spent many years compiling the glacier entries that went into The Alaska Glacier Dictionary. She lives in Homer.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Anchorage’s most famous reindeer has died.

Star, the seventh reindeer to live at 10th Avenue and I Street in Downtown Anchorage, was euthanized on Tuesday after “serious deteriorating health.”

“We had hopes he would survive but that was not the case,” said caretaker and owner Albert Whitehead, who also cared for Star’s immediate predecessor.

Police in February aided the return of Star to the pen after he was found wandering around town. Around the same time, authorities opened an investigation into a concerning encounter caught on security camera. In the video, a man can be seen spraying an unknown substance into Star’s pen, presumably the cause of the reindeer’s ensuing illness.
