DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered… What does it feel like to ride the 
 runners behind a team of dogs, steering a loaded sled through mountainous 
 terrain, crossing the vast Alaskan tundra, hugging the shoreline of the
  great Bering Sea? What does it take to care for a team of Alaskan huskies
 ? Could my dog be a sled dog, too? 2025 was the 100th Anniversary of the 
 1925 Diphtheria Epidemic Serum Run! Remember Balto and Togo and the many h
 eroic huskies and mushers who carried life-saving anti-toxin to the town o
 f Nome, Alaska? Want to learn more?Musher Karen Land will cover these subj
 ects and more when she and Sophia the Alaskan husky visit the library!Land
