Summer is here, at least unofficially, and that means only one thing. Okay, it actually means a lot of things, but one of them, is bikes! To help celebrate the world of two-wheel transportation the Library has created a special Bikes double display. Now, by bikes, we mean not only bicycles, but motorcycles as well. There are how-to guides, repair manuals, encyclopedias, kids’ stories, biker biographies, histories, and even a few DVDs. Whether you’re commuting across town or planning to bike up into the mountains, we have something* for* * you.
Summer also means the Library will be offering extended hours during June and July. On certain days of the week (yet to be determined) we will open at 10 a.m. (instead of noon) and will be open for a few hours on Saturday afternoons.

Diamond Tooth Gerties is an iconic Dawson building and the cash cow that finances most of the operations of the Klondike Visitors Association. As of January 27, 2015, it’s a bit more than that. It’s a Municipal Heritage Site.

Slocan Ramblers
Genre: Listen: Bluegrass www. slocanramblers.com
The Slocan Ramblers are a young string quartet of charming, handsome bluegrass boys. With Frank Evans on banjo, Adrian Gross on mandolin, Darryl Poulsen on guitar, and Alastair Whitehead on bass, these boys sure know how to channel an aura of the old American West into a tight musical performance that will surely get the audience jigging and singing along.
This band is fearlessly creative and possesses a bold, dynamic sound. They have quickly become a leading light of Canada’s roots music scene, built on their reputation for memorable, energetic live “Theshows Slocan and impeccable Ramblers put musicianship. on one of the most vibrant shows of acoustic music I’ve seen in some time. It’s rare for Canadians (especially young Canadians) to play this music with such authority, passion and yet ability for experimentation. Chops galore, and a handsome bunch of fellas” – Tom Power – Host of CBC’s Deep Roots and Radio 2 Morning
The old-timey twangs of the banjo, smooth harmonies and upbeat tempo make for quite an enjoyable listen and these boys will be right at home under the midnight sun in Dawson’s dusty old-time streets. By Dan Davidson Elisapie
