The Noontime Notions series continues. The program will begin at noon in the Rogow Room at the Transylvania County Library. Noontime Notions programs feature authors, performers, and presenters providing engaging notions for consideration, enjoyment, and discovery. The program is made possible by the Friends of the Library and will last approximately one hour.
In 2023, 828-born author and arctic expedition guide, Jacob “Val” Myers, attempted to become the youngest person in history to ski alone and without resupply to the Geographic South Pole in Antarctica. This presentation explores both that harrowing adventure and the way his Appalachian upbringing shaped his relationship with the lands he has travelled to.
Val is the author of Blue Ridge | White Desert, a mountain endurance athlete, and a backpacking guide for Adventure Grown Guides in Pisgah Forest. He is based in Sapphire, North Carolina, where he trains and works. Come listen to Val share his story with us at Noontime Notions!
