RUMFORD — Friends of the Rumford Public Library will host ‘One-in-a-Million Boy’ and ‘When We Were the Kennedys’ author Monica Wood.
The reading will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 8. Because the Public Room at Rumford Public Library is temporarily closed, the event will be held at the American Legion, 184 Congress Street. Wood is a novelist, memoirist, and playwright; the 2019 recipient of the Maine Humanities Council Carlson Prize for contributions to the public humanities; and a recipient of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance Distinguished Achievement Award for contributions to the literary arts.
Wood’s latest novel, ‘How to Read a Book,’ will be released May 7. She lives in Portland with her husband, Dan Abbott, and their cat, Susie.
The event is free and open to the public, however, donations to the Friends will be accepted.
The Friends is a nonprofit organization whose members have a vested interest in the library. Proceeds from this event, the annual book sale, along with other funds the group raises, support the library by funding unbudgeted programs, such as the Community Pass to the Maine Wildlife Park.
For more information about the event, contact the library at 207-364-3661 or follow it on Facebook. To learn more about the author, visit monicawood.com.
