Virtual Alaska Story Hour for Adults
Fridays, 12:00-1:00pm
The next book for the Virtual Alaska Story Hour for Adults is coming! Starting Friday, July 12 the discussion will be on Open Carry by Marc Cameron.
Author Marc Cameron will be joining us on July 12th to kick off the reading of his book, Open Carry. A former Chief Deputy US Marshal himself, Cameron draws on his first hand understanding of law enforcement in the Last Frontier with this first book in the Arliss Cutter U.S. Marshal series.
From Cameron’s website: Deputy U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter is a born tracker. Raised in the Florida swamplands, he honed his skills in the military, fought in the Middle East, and worked three field positions for Marshal Service. When it comes to tracking someone down, Cutter’s the best. But his newest assignment is taking him out of his comfort zone to southeast Alaska. Dark, uninhabited forests often shrouded in fog. And it’s the kind of case that makes his blood run cold.
The murder of a Tlingit girl just the beginning. Now, three people have disappeared on Prince of Wales Island. Two are crew members of the reality TV show, Fishwives. Cutter’s job is to find the bodies, examine the crew’s footage for clues, and track down the men who killed them. But it won’t be easy, because the whole town is hiding secrets, every trail is a dead end—and the hunter becomes the hunted . . .

Alaska State Museum - Juneau
November 1, 2024
The installation Honoring the Ordinary creates opportunities for moments of discovery, intrigue, and possibly discomfort by considering the survivance of Salmon Culture in Alaska today.
This installation creates an opportunity to become immersed in the sensory experience of salmon culture and to honor the salmon, the people, and the cultures that have shaped one another for thousands of years.
Honoring the Ordinary brings the outdoors into the gallery space, recognizing Alaska’s connection to salmon as something to be honored, cherished, and protected.
Stop by the APK for November First Friday!
The Alaska State Museum is open with FREE admission for First Friday from 4:30-7:00pm.
