Join us for a discussion of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin. We will meet in the library and on line. If you are interested in joining by Zoom, contact information is available from Janet at 207/685-3512.
“Zevin has done something old-fashioned and fairly rare these days. She has written an entertaining novel, modest in its scope, engaging and funny without being cloying or sentimental. On top of all that, it is marvelously optimistic about the future of books and bookstores and the people who love both.” ―The Washington Post
This Title is also available in audiobook format as a borrow on Hoopla. Ask Janet for your library number to sign up for a free account.

Bendable Maine is being built as a community-centered lifelong learning system created by the Drucker Institute, a nonprofit social enterprise based at Claremont Graduate University. It allows residents of all ages and backgrounds to easily acquire new knowledge and skills through online courses as well as in-person learning opportunities. The learning system’s aim is to make the residents of Maine more resilient in the face of a fast-changing economy. It is truly lifelong and universal but is focused, above all, on reaching those in the Maine community who have been most underserved.
Introducing Bendable Maine, a robust learning marketplace, in partnership with the Maine State Library.
