Our Yukon library

Thanks to some wonderful Christmas and birthday presents, and some tips from friends, we now find ourselves with a great selection of reading material. Come up for a visit and never run out of a good book!

This new book is really captivating,
and has great photos.

This cookbook has lots of interesting stories about the author's experimentation,
and delicious-sounding recipes (we can't wait to try Pine and Macadamia Nut
Baklava with Spruce Tip Syrup, and do the Sourdough boot camp
to develop our own sourdough starter)

A hilarious and intriguing graphic novel

A valuable resource for all Yukon skills, from home-brew making
to building firewood stackwalls   

Even more skills- seasoning cast iron,
making flower dyes, beating cabin fever... 

Stories and line drawings illustrating
the lives of  'interesting' Yukoners

Easy instructions, and our Mt Lorne
neighbours can supply the wool!

An encyclopedia's worth of information and stories

First Nation knowledge of local plants in

Helpful elevation change diagrams!

In related news, the brand new Whitehorse Public Library has opened! It's got a riverside patio, and lots of great reading chairs. It's probably a bit less drafty than the one in the 40s :)
