Let's Talk About It


The Falmouth 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 the books available through the library. This program is provided by the Maine Humanities Council's Maine Center for the Book in cooperation with the Maine State Library.

The series Not for Children Only, begins Thursday, September 6th at 6:45pm and continues for five sessions through December 20th.

Books to be read and discussed in this series include: "The Classic Fairy Tales", "Little Women", "The Wind in the Willows", "Charlotte's Web" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". The discussions will be facilitated by a scholar provided by the Maine Humanities Council.

"Exploring ideas and issues through literature has always been exciting and fun," said Lizz Sinclair, director of "Let's Talk About It." "We find that there is great interest among adults in getting together to discuss what they've read with others. Having a discussion leader who is both excited about the readings and skilled in facilitating can help to deepen the experience."

Books for the program are available for loan at Falmouth Memorial Library. Please call Andi at the library, 781-2351 to register and come in to pick up the first book of the series.

This program is offered to Maine libraries through the Maine Humanities Council by a grant from the Belvedere Fund of the Maine Community Foundation.
