Mike Durall has something in common with those who are naturally curious. He likes to write about places and things he knows nothing about. He admits this in an introduction to his new book about Salina in which he peers into what keeps the growing town’s gears turning. Each page inks a story he used to know nothing about, but after connecting with the people whose lives shape those narratives, he was able to learn quite well what makes Salina special. … From stories about the Salina Sirens Women’s Roller Derby team, a narrative on managing the Rolling Hills Zoo, the Black church experience in Salina, a day in the life of a hospital emergency room, farming families, first-responders and auto service workers, ‘How Salina Works’ is a melting pot of stories from the community.
