AUGUSTA — Lithgow Public Library, 45 Winthrop St., will celebrate Read ME with Maine-themed events.
Read ME is a statewide program presented in partnership between the Maine Humanities Council and the Maine State Library. It gets Maine’s adults all reading the same books by Maine authors and recommended by a Maine author. This summer Paul Doiron chose CB Anderson’s “River Talk” and Susan Hand Shetterly’s “Settled in the Wild: Notes from the Edge of Town.”
Copies of the featured books are available to be borrowed from the library.
The schedule:
• July 11, 6:30 p.m., Book Discussion Group “River Talk”;
• July 16, 6 p.m., potluck dinner with Capital Area New Mainers;
• July 25, 6:30 p.m., author event with CB Anderson;

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
