AUGUSTA — Through its President’s Pick Book Donation Program, Central Maine Power is donating more than 600 copies of “How to Tap a Maple!” by Maine author Stephanie Mulligan and Maine illustrator Connie Rand to over 500 Maine public elementary schools and public libraries in CMP’s service territory this week.

Maine Maple Sunday weekend will be held later this month.

“The memories of my father-in-law teaching my children how to make maple syrup are treasured, which is why I shared them in this book. This story is a wonderful reminder that kids and adults can learn together. You’re never too old to try something new, and it’s even sweeter when you can pass it on to the next generation,” Mulligan said in a news release.
