A Statewide Summer Reading Program with a Twist



Libraries across the state of Maine are talking about the same two titles this summer, hand-picked by Maine mystery legend Paul Doiron. This month, we will be reading River Talk, a short story collection by Joan Agee.

What's so special about this novel? Doiron explains: “The short stories in CB Anderson’s River Talk are about Mainers: folks you went to school with and have known forever, others you hear speaking in foreign tongues on the street, newcomers, neighbors, maybe even yourself...if you’re looking for a book about the ways people in Maine actually live, now, today, you need to read this small masterpiece.”
 

Copies of this book are available to check out in the Taylor building.
