Alaskan author Debbie Miller will speak at Kettleson Memorial Library 2 p.m. Dec. 7.

She will discuss scientific research leading to her recently published work ‘‘A King Salmon Journey.’’
‘‘Two thousand miles is a staggering distance for any kind of journey and that is what faces Chinook, a female king salmon, as she takes a dramatic trip to safely deliver her eggs,’’ the library said. ‘‘From the Bering Sea, up the Yukon River, and on to the Nisutlin River, ‘‘A King Salmon Journey’’ takes young and adult readers on an engaging ride through the waters of Alaska and Canada, bringing to life the biology – and mystery – of one of the world’s most popular fish.’’
The family program is open to the public. For more information call the library at 747-8708.
