Yes. I have twenty-nine libraries in eight counties in Northern Wisconsin in my system. Very cool.

If you reading Beav's death march around Alaska and wonder about that canoe...this is the guy that made it....
He was a plumber by trade who put a paddle in his hands for the first time when he was over 40 years old....and then paddled the most crazy places. He made his own canoes to meet his needs and they are still made today.
The craziest thing is he never learned to swim....Cancer got him in the end but he tried to drown twice.

You may be able to check it out through your local interloan library.
