NORWAY — Susan Hand Shetterly, a former wild bird rehabilitator who has written about wildlife and wildlands for more than 20 years, will be the guest at a Fireside Chat hosted by Norway Memorial Library on Thursday, March 4.

Shetterly’s most recent publication is “Settled in the Wild: Notes from the Edge of Town.” She also wrote the essay collection “The New Year’s Owl” and several children’s books. She was a contributing writer to the “Maine Times” and her pieces have appeared in “Birder’s World,””Audubon Magazine,” “Yankee” and “Down East.”

In “Settled in the Wild,” Shetterly explores how animals, humans and plants share the land — observing her own neighborhood in rural Maine. She tells tales of the locals — humans, yes, but also snowshoe hares, raccoons, bobcats, turtles, salmon, ravens, hummingbirds, cormorants, sandpipers and spring peepers. She examines how they all make their way in an ever-changing habitat.

The chat will begin at 6:30 p.m. The program is free. For more information, call 743-5309 or visit www.norway.lib.me.us. For more about Shetterly, visit www.susanhandshetterly.com.
