Join the Androscoggin Historical Society, Auburn Public Library, and Lewiston Public Library as we partner to explore fiction with a historical twist. We will be meeting on the last Monday of each month from 5:30 – 6:30pm to discuss a historical fiction novel. Our next meeting will take place on December 29th @ 5:30pm, at the Androscoggin Historical Society, located at 93 Lisbon St., Lewiston, ME 04240.
We will be reading The Eastern. Book One: The Early Years by Deborah Gould.
“In the early 1800s, five families settle on the Eastern River in Pittston, Maine. Together, they build a strong and lasting neighborhood, an agricultural community based on New England values of cooperation and reciprocity.”
Participants will be expected to obtain a copy of the book independently. You may place a hold on Minerva using your library card or contact either the Auburn Public Library or the Lewiston Public Library for assistance with how to borrow a copy of this month’s selection.
Locations of future gatherings will rotate between the Androscoggin Historical Society, Auburn Public Library, and Lewiston Public Library. Future readings to be determined by those who come.
Free to attend. No registration required at this time. No food provided, but feel free to bring your own. Recommended for ages 18+.
