Karen Land Dog Mushing Presentation

MUSH with Noggin, the Sled Dog!

Karen Land—writer, public speaker, and three-time participant in the 1,049-mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race across Alaska—and her Alaskan husky, Noggin, will be presenting at the library!

Since 2000, Karen (a Hoosier native) has given over a thousand talks in almost every state. Karen loves providing MUSHING talks for always-eager students and enthusiastic library patrons. Dogs, the sport of mushing, and Alaska inspire a diverse audience, making the event fun and interesting for all ages. 

Dog mushing, a traditional mode of arctic transportation, is a unique subject perfect for every library and classroom. From STEM (climate change and environmental studies) to literature (Gary Paulsen and Jack London) to the arts and physical education, the options for exploration are endless.
