READFIELD — The Readfield Community Library is hosting talks by two Maine authors in March.

Maine author Ron Joseph plans to speak at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 18, at the Readfield Town Office, 8 Old Kents Hill Road. He will share slides and talk about his work as a wildlife biologist, his experiences in the field, and his memoir “Bald Eagles, Bear Cubs and Hermit Bill.”

In that memoir, Joseph recounts his youth in central Maine, the importance of his family’s dairy farm, his adventures in the field, and the characters he met over the course of a three-decade career working with wildlife and conservation. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing after the event, according to a news release from Melissa Small, library director.

Adventurer, outdoors and travel writer, and beer enthusiast Carey Kish plans to discuss his guidebook, “Beer Hiking New England,” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 27, at The Weathervane Restaurant, 1030 Main St. Kish’s book showcases a wide variety of beer hikes throughout New England, from easy walks to moderate rambles and strenuous climbs. Kish will talk about the scenery and the breweries and brewpubs nearby.

Kish hiked more than 300 miles on foot and tasted more than 230 different beers.

These events are sponsored by the library and Readfield U, a free pop-up university, and are part of the library’s Environment & Sustainability Program/Speaker Series supported in part by a Maine Public Libraries Fund Grant.

Registration for these events is requested at readfieldrecreation.com/home.
