An Evening with Jacqueline Woodson (May)

Lewiston Public Library (LPL) will be hosting National Book Award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson for a public event on Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 5:30PM, as part of a national tour in support of her new book, Remember Us. Woodson will be joined in conversation with Director and Founder of Diverse BookFinder, Dr. Krista Aronson. The event is offered in partnership with the Maine Humanities Council (MHC), a statewide non-profit organization and Maine’s affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

Woodson’s new book, Remember Us, is a beautiful, lyrical novel inspired by her own childhood in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood. Capturing a transformative summer in the life of a twelve-year-old girl as she watches much of her world change, its powerful story delves deeply into life’s burning questions about time, memory, and what we take with us into the future.

The public event will take place in Lewiston Public Library’s Callahan Hall on the third floor. Admission is free.
