Must Read Alaska: Judge decides library stabber may walk free on Monday
Angela Harris was stabbed while returning borrowed items at the Loussac Library on Sunday afternoon, Feb 13, 2022. Ahkivgak came up to her from behind in the lobby of the library as she approached the return chute. Her injuries were additionally severe because the man’s knife hit her spinal cord, causing paralysis. He had attacked two other women in months leading up to his attack on Harris, and had been released on those attacks, too.

Award-winning Young Adult Novel Selected for 2022 Alaska Reads program

Surviving Bear Island, Fairbanks author Paul Greci’s young adult wilderness tale, has been selected for the 2022 Alaska Reads program. Alaska Reads is a biennial statewide reading program that features a selected publication by a living Alaskan author. It seeks to build excitement around contemporary Alaskan authors and the stories they tell, through author talks, discussion groups, and other community events.

This year’s program is a partnership among Alaska Center for the Book, Alaska State Writer Heather Lende, the Alaska Library Association, Rasmuson Foundation, the Fairbanks Rotary Club, and Move Books. The initiative began in 2015 through the efforts of the late Frank Soos, 2015-17 Alaska State Writer Laureate. Lende, the current Alaska State Writer, led a selection committee to choose the 2022 book.

Surviving Bear Island is the riveting story of 14-year-old Tom and his father, who are capsized from their kayak into Prince William Sound. What follows is a harrowing 80-day experience for young Tom, as he struggles to survive after washing up on an island with a substantial bear presence.

Greci will make personal appearances in many Alaska schools and libraries in the fall of 2022 to introduce his book and lead discussions with readers. Information will be available at the Alaska Center for the Book website, as plans for author appearances and events are solidified.

Challenge Alaska to host first SuperDraft Disabled Hockey Tournament

Challenge Alaska is bringing the first SuperDraft Disabled Hockey Tournament to the 49th State.

Warrior, Special and Sled Hockey players from across the country will meet in Anchorage Aug. 4-7 to compete in a round-robin style tournament. Each category allows players of different abilities an opportunity to play the sport they love.

Warrior hockey provides adaptive hockey for military veterans with disabilities. Sled hockey is meant for players sitting down in a sled and special hockey is for players who still play upright with physical or developmental disabilities.

The tournament is currently looking for players and sponsors. Get involved.
