WATERBORO — Read ME is a statewide summer reading program presented in partnership with the Maine Humanities Council and the Maine State Library that gets Maine’s adults all reading the same books by Maine authors and recommended by a Maine author.
This year, Maine’s own Paul Doiron, (Knife Creek, Poacher’s Son, Trespasser) chose a fiction title, River Talk by CB Anderson and a nonfiction title, Settled in the Wild: Notes from the Edge of Town by Susan Hand Shetterly.
The program will culminate with an episode of Maine Calling, aired in front of a live audience at Maine State Library on Aug. 22.
Waterboro Public Library will be hosting book discussions for these titles, River Talk by CB Anderson at 6 p.m. July 12 and Settled in the Wild: Notes from the Edge of Town by Susan Hand Shetterly at 6 p.m. Aug. 9.
The library has two copies of each title to lend out, please call 247-3363 for more information or send an email to librarian@waterborolibrary.org.
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.
