Underwood Library events

FAYETTE — Underwood Memorial Library will hold an event in honor of National Library Week.

The library will host an evening with Maine Woods historian, author and storyteller, Steve Pinkham, at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, at the Fayette Central School.

Attendees can meet the author from 6:30 to 7 p.m. At 7, he will do storytelling from his book “Old Tales of the Maine Woods,” published in 2012.

Pinkham grew up in western Maine, hearing old stories of hunting and fishing, and has spent most of his life hiking, paddling and discovering the many wonderful places in the backwoods of Maine. Having spent the past 10 years searching for articles and books, following up on clues and spending a vast amount of hours in libraries and historical societies, he published his first book, “Mountains of Maine,” in 2009.

Both books will be available to purchase as well as old maps of Maine. For more information call Elaine Wilcox, librarian, at 685-3778, or visit www.oldtalesofmainewoods.com.
