At the end of August I moved to Northern Alberta to do my internship for my Education Degree. One of the first things I did (after taking care of my, once again, broken computer) was to find a local library and start borrowing books. I did not bring many with me, since I was flying and space was precious, so I knew to complete my challenge I would need to find a library, or really on audio and ebooks, which is harder to do without a computer or e-reader.
The library I found is a community library. That means, small and local. Where as back home I could pretty much get any book I wanted, either from my nearest library or through an inter-library loan, here I am limited to the books they have in the library. Also because it's a community library and not a public library I had to pay a membership fee (which was very reasonable). The library is located in the high school, a dual-purpose school/community library, so I am in limited in my book selection by what they have available. They have quite a large selection of Christian Fiction, and many novels that one would expect to be in a high school library (like those classic high school novels). However they are missing books that I was hoping to read this fall. Game of Thrones, The Book Thief, anything Harry Potter.
I also had two books I had started by not completed before I moved, and I couldn't take them with me. Falling for God by Gary W. Moon and Dry Store Room No.1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum by Richard Fortey. I will try to find them online, either as audiobooks or ebooks, but I feel they will not be finished before the end of the year. :(
So my selection may not be as varied as before. I will still gladly take any book suggestions and read them if I can find a copy of it. :)
I'll leave you with a scenic picture I took up here.
