Harriett Beecher Stowe---"Uncle Tom's Cabin"

We hope you will join us for the next meeting of our 2nd Wednesday of the Month book group!  We will be discussing "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe.  Although Stowe was born in Connecticut, she did move to Brunswick, Maine when her husband accepted a job at Bowdoin College.

Book Chat Cafe

We hope you will join us for our newest "book group", Book Chat Cafe.  We meet the 2nd Saturday of each month @ 10am.  There is no reading list.  Just bring a few of your more recent favorite reads and we'll chat about them!  I've already picked up three titles of books I want to read.

Our next meeting is Saturday, May 14th @ 10am.  We will be "playing" with your library's new e-readers!  Come see what all the excitement is about and meet others in our community who love to read and share.

"Poets and Writers" Magazine

Your library has a wide variety of magazines available for check out. We've had  "Poets and Writers" magazine for a few years.  If you're interested in the art and craft of writing, stop by your library's Periodical Room.  "Poets and Writers" is published bimonthly and contains great articles about and for writers and poets.  Since the month of April is National Poetry Month, what better time than now to check out writing resources and start creating with words yourself.

April is Poetry Month--Remember to Bring Your Poem this week!

Next month's Book Group Meeting is all about Maine Poetry.  Please remember to bring a copy of the poem you've chosen to read in April to our March 9th meeting.  I will photocopy and distribute the poems to everyone at the March 9th meeting. 

Another Book Group?

Yes, the Falmouth Memorial Library has started another book group which will meet on the Second Saturday of every month, @ 9:30am.  The next meeting will be Saturday, March 12th.

Where's the list?  What do I need to read?

No list, no required reading.  Drop by, grab a cup of coffee and a muffin and relax.  We'll talk about books, what we like to read and why.  We'll play around with some of the new e-readers.  Just basically ponder the written word, or the spoken word  for that matter.  Please join us.  What's a story without sharing it?
