The Auburn Public Library is again this year a Read ME participating library.
Read ME is the Maine Humanities Council’s statewide summer reading program, offered in partnership with Maine State Library and Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance. Each year a well-known Maine author recommends two titles by lesser-known Maine authors, with libraries and their patrons participating in a summer of reading and discussing the featured books.
This year’s featured books are “Moon in Full,” a modern-day coming-of-age story by Marpheen Chann, and “The Road to Dalton” by Shannon Bowring.
The program is set from 11 a.m. to noon on Thursday, May 30, on Maine Public Radio with a special episode of Maine Calling. Recommending author Jaed Coffin will join the host, along with Chann and Bowring, to discuss their books and answer questions from libraries and readers across the state.
Auburn Public Library will host a discussion of “Moon in Full” at 4 p.m. Wednesday, July 17. Books will be available for those who register after Thursday, June 13.
Maine Humanities Council will host an online conversation with Chann at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 18.
The Auburn library’s discussion of “The Road to Dalton” runs from 4-5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14. Books will be available to those who register after Thursday, July 11.
Maine Humanities Council’s online conversation with Bowring will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15.
