Indeed it is–and labeled as such on the cover itself. (My wife took pictures of that wall sculpture on two different cruises; the second one, used here, came out better. It dates from 2006, I think.) We’ll be back next May/June–twice (on a Vancouver/Seward/Vancouver roundtrip)–and chances are she’ll try for an even better shot.

Anyone who visits Juneau really should visit the library. It couldn’t be more convenient to the cruise ship portion of the port, and the views from the library are spectacular.

And the back cover is the banner for the Molokai Public Library (in Hawaii)–taken quite a few years ago, when we spent a week on Molokai.

The front cover isn’t merely from Alaska, it’s from an Alaskan library. It’s on the wall of the parking structure whose top floor is the downtown branch of the Juneau Public Library.

Walt,

Thanks for the free AK publicity!
