On Tuesday, July 25 at
7:00 PM. the Epsom Library will host NH author Dan Szczesny as he
presents “Mosquito Rain: Alaskan Travel Essays.” In a series
of essays as far ranging as hidden salmon fishing spots to walking
into glaciers to finding eagles in Valdez Bay, Szczesny’s Alaska is
terrifying and beautiful; a land of equal parts danger
and wonder. His slide show and talk will feature travel tinged
with a hint of off-road exploration. So, brush off the
mosquitoes, boil up some dehydrated noodles and sit back and enjoy
discovering an Alaska you never knew existed. Glaziers,
salmon, hiking, Denali and, of course, grizzlies are all part of the
adventure. He will bring his book “Mosquito Rain” for
purchase.
On Wednesday, July 26 at 1:30 PM, the movie matinee
will feature “The Shack.” A fun week-end camping trip for a
man and his children turns into a nightmare that will change them
all forever. The film takes us on a father’s transformative
spiritual journey. This film is rated PG-13.
