Book Group
The book group will meet at the library on Wednesday, August 31 to Richard Russo’s novel That Old Cape Magic. Ron Charles of The Washington Post describes the story as a novel for people who are afraid of becoming their parents. This is a humorous novel, covering two weddings – one in Cape Cod and one in Maine. It deals with a dysfunctional family life, and the inevitability of the traits and foibles each generation inherits from the other.
All readers are invited to join us for an interesting evening. The book will be available upon request at the library. For more information, call the library at 655-4283.
Art Museum Passes
We are so fortunate to live close to the City of Portland and to be able to take advantage of the many cultural events and areas of the city. One of my favorites is the Portland Art Museum, which is a different and wonderful place to visit and also to bring your summer guests.
Because of the generosity of patrons who purchase the pass for the library, we can help out by offering you free museum passes. Just request the pass at the library for the date you wish to go. The library is open on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday from 10am to 7pm, so be certain to come in and get the pass in advance of planning your trip to the Art Museum.
