LOVELL — The Hobbs Library Speaker Series continues at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 14, with a talk by Lake Living Magazine’s Laurie LaMountain at the 227 Main St. library.
Her talk is “Lake Living Magazine, A Labor of Love.”
Twenty-six years ago, after working with a trade publication covering the timber frame industry, Denmark resident LaMountain created Lake Living, a quarterly magazine that would give readers a seasonal sense of the people, places and things of that part of Maine.
Her intention is to focus on the unusual. A luthier who crafts guitars for left-handed musicians, an architect who led the restoration of the Winslow Homer studio, a boat builder who builds elegant electric boats, and an artist who fashions vintage water skis into skateboards are just a handful of the people she has interviewed for articles, according to a news release from the library.
The Hobbs Library Speaker Series is supported in part by a contribution from Norway Savings Bank.
Lake Living is a series of love letters written to her beloved home corner of Maine.
