The New York Times, Sunday Times and International Bestseller Finding Gobi: A man, a dog, and the lengths to which love will go to sacrifice for its companion.
Finding Gobi is the miraculous tale of Dion Leonard, a seasoned ultramarathon runner who crosses paths with a stray dog while competing in a 155-mile race through the Gobi Desert in China. The lovable pup, who would later earn the name Gobi, proved that what she lacked in size, she more than made up for in heart, as she went step for step with Dion over the Tian Shan Mountains, across massive sand dunes, through yurt villages and the black sands of the Gobi Desert, keeping pace with him for nearly 80 miles. https://www.findinggobi.com/

The Mesquite Library began as a 2,008-square-foot facility in May 1990 and was expanded to 5,464-square-feet in 2012. After a 1.63-acre parcel was donated by the City of Mesquite, a new 13,313-square-foot library was constructed and the former building was converted into the library’s Learning Center, which features the EmployNV Career Hub. The library now houses 29,000 volumes and serves a community of over 21,000 residents.
