Author Talk: Anders Morley
The North Olympic Library System (NOLS) invites you to join author Anders Morley for a live virtual discussion of This Land of Snow: A Journey Across the North in Winter. The discussion will be held on Zoom on Friday, Nov. 5 at 6:30 p.m. Registration is required to receive the Zoom login information for this event; register at nols.org or by contacting your local branch.
For as long as he could remember, Anders Morley dreamed of taking a very long walk. In his thirties, happily married and living in a faraway country but pining for the silent and snowy winters of his New Hampshire home, he decided to unite his old dream with his equally long-standing love of winter. Fourteen months later, just as the snow was starting to fall, he set off alone to spend the four coldest months of the year traveling on skis across the half-wild country of northwestern Canada.

Feiro Marine Life Center Pass

The Feiro Marine Life Center showcases sea stars, crabs, scallops, anemones, fish and other marine life, all living within 20 miles of Port Angeles, from the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Get a hands-on view at the microscope station and check out some of the area’s natural history through displays of whale bones and shells, sculptures and murals, and three touch tanks. The Marine Life Center is a fun, safe, and easy way for people of all ages and physical abilities to experience the marine waters of the North Olympic Peninsula.
Feiro Marine Life Center is located on the Port Angeles City Pier and is open Thursdays – Mondays, 12 – 4 p.m. (Closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays).
Exploring our local marine life is great at any age, and research shows that kids who are encouraged to explore their surroundings are more motivated to become curious, engaged learners.
NOLS offers many resources to pique that curiosity. Books, documentaries, and other materials are available for all ages about the anemones, octopuses, sea cucumbers and other fascinating marine life that can be found in our local waters. Browse the collection, or stop by your local library for help finding that perfect read.
