WEST PARIS — The Arthur L. Mann Memorial Library has been selected by the Maine Humanities Council to offer “Let’s Talk About It,” a free reading and discussion group with copies of books available through the library.

The program is provided by the Maine Humanities Council’s Maine Center for the Book in cooperation with the Maine State Library.

The five-session series “Making a Difference: How Love and Duty Change Lives,” begins Thursday, June 2, and continues through Aug. 25.

Books to be read and discussed in this series include “Plainsong” by Kent Haruf, “The Death of Vishnu” by Manil Suri; “The Late George Apley” by J. P. Marquand; “Truth and Beauty: A Friendship” by Ann Patchett; and “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Erich Maria Remarque.

The Maine Humanities Council has arranged for Robert Farnsworth to facilitate the discussions, who facilitated a previous “Let’s Talk About It” book group at the library. 

Farnsworth’s poetry has appeared in magazines all over the U.S., in Canada and the United Kingdom, and he has published three collections. He is a professor at Bates College.
