SUMMARY:NEW ENGLAND AUTHOR - MEGHAN PERRY - AUGUST 15\, 2 PM
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome New England author Meghan Perry to the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library on Friday\, August 15\, at 2:00 p.m. Ms. Perry will read from her debut novel\, Water Finds a Way and talk about her writing process. \nMeghan Perry is a New England author whose debut novel\, Water Finds a Way\, was published by Delphinium Books & Random House Audio. The novel has received numerous accolades\, including a starred Kirkus Review\, and an IPPY Awards silver medal. It was also featured in Newsday and Conde Nast Traveler as one of the top reads for fall. Learn more at meghanperry.com \nRecently released from prison\, reclusive Blake Alvares returns to the only place she ever felt safe\, the now derelict Maine fishing town in which she harbored as a teen. Determined to conceal her secrets and losses\, she soon finds herself dragged into others’ lives when she rents a room from an ailing widow and takes a job on a boat owned by a notorious young lobsterman named Leland. \nLeland Savard is nearly broke\, trying to support himself and 9-year-old Quinnie as he wrestles with a dangerous family legacy. Despite all odds\, he and Blake forge a successful working partnership\, and as she establishes a timid friendship with widowed Nora\, Blake glimpses what it might mean to truly belong. But when Leland’s rash actions place her and Quinnie in peril\, Blake feels forced to run again. On her quest for home\, she must confront a daunting question: can she ever again trust in human connection? \nWinner: 2025 IPPY Silver Medal\, Honorable Mention: Eric Hoffer Book Award\, Finalist: Foreword Reviews Book of the Year Award\, Finalist: Next Generation Indie Book Award\, Finalist: National Indie Excellence Award \nCopies of the book will be for sale and signed after the program.

SUMMARY:AUTHOR KATE FLORA - SEPTEMBER 20 AT 2:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Patsy Bray Mahoney Lecture Series\, we are pleased to welcome Kate Flora to the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library on Saturday\, September 20\, at 2:00 p.m. Ms. Flora will read from her latest book\, Those Who Chose Evil and talk about the writing process. \n \nKate Flora’s fascination with the darker side of human nature began in the Maine attorney general’s office\, where she encountered everything from deadbeat dads to child abusers to discriminatory employers. This exposure ignited her curiosity about what drives people to cross moral and legal lines. Now the author of twenty-eight books across crime fiction\, true crime\, memoir\, and nonfiction\, Flora’s works have earned her a finalist spot for prestigious awards like the Edgar\, Agatha\, Anthony\, and Derringer. She has twice won the Maine Literary Award for crime fiction\, taken home the Public Safety Writers Association award for nonfiction\, and received lifetime achievement honors from both the New England Crime Bake and the Maine Crime Wave. \nAs the president of her local chapter of Sisters in Crime and a founder of New England Crime Bake and Maine Crime Wave\, Flora plays a significant role in the crime writing community. Her latest works include Teach Her a Lesson\, a gripping domestic suspense novel\, Burn the Diaries and Run\, a political thriller\, and Those Who Choose Evil\, the ninth installment in her gritty Joe Burgess police procedural series. When she’s not crafting dark\, suspenseful stories\, she divides her time between Massachusetts and Maine\, finding joy in gardening\, cooking\, and watching the clouds. Learn more at www.kateclarkflora.com \nRefreshments will be provided by the Graves Library Snack Team. Copies of the book will be for sale and signing after the program. The Library is located at 18 Maine Street\, Kennebunkport\, Maine. Please call the library at 207-967-2778 with any questions. Additional parking is available at the Fire Department Parking Lot (North Street). \nWe hope you will join us for this very special afternoon. \n

SUMMARY:EVENING WITH ADAM HIGGINBOTHAM AND PAT CALLAGHAN AT VINEGAR HILL
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Clifford W. Burgess Fall Author Night\nAuthor Adam Higginbotham and Pat Callaghan\nOctober 9\, at Vinegar Hill\nThe Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library in Kennebunkport is pleased to once again partner with Vinegar Hill for this special evening with Adam Higginbotham\, author of CHALLENGER: A TRUE STORY OF HEROISM & DISASTER ON THE EDGE OF SPACE. From the New York Times bestselling author of Midnight in Chernobyl comes the definitive\, dramatic\, minute-by-minute story of the Challenger disaster based on fascinating new archival research and in-depth reporting—a riveting history that reads like a thriller. A masterful blend of human drama and fascinating and absorbing science\, Challenger brings to life a turning point in history—and the result is an even more complex and astonishing story than we remember. \nDoors open at 5:30 for the purchase of drinks\, snacks\, and books. The program begins at 6:30. \nThe author will be interviewed by former TV news anchor and journalist Pat Callgahan (WCSH-TV\, Portland)\, who covered the Challenger story in 1986. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nOn January 28\, 1986\, just seventy-three seconds into the flight\, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean\, shocking the world and killing all seven people on board. The best-selling author Adam Higginbotham will discuss his newest book\, “Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space” at 6:30 p.m. on October 9 at Vinegar Hill Music Theatre in Arundel. \nThis third Annual Fall Author event is hosted by the Louis T. Graves Memorial Free Library in Kennebunkport\, Maine and is open to the public. The annual fundraising event features nationally recognized authors and speakers (last year’s speaker was Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and celebrated teacher Richard Russo\, interviewed by fellow fiction writer Tom Perrotta). \n“Challenger” is the definitive\, dramatic\, minute-by-minute story of the doomed space shuttle based on fascinating new archival research and in-depth reporting. Millions of Americans witnessed the tragic deaths of the crew\, including New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Higginbotham’s publisher (Avid Reader Press) describes the book as “a riveting history that reads like a thriller.” \nThe book follows a handful of central protagonists—including each of the seven members of the crew—through the years leading up to the accident\, plus a detailed account of the tragedy itself and the investigation that followed. Higginbotham reveals the history of the shuttle program\, the lives of the men and women whose stories have been overshadowed by the disaster\, as well as the designers\, engineers\, and test pilots who struggled against the odds to get the first space shuttle into space. \nIn addition to his two books\, Higginbotham has written for The New Yorker\, The New York Times Magazine\, Wired\, GQ\, and Smithsonian. \nTickets for the October 9 event are $50/$60 and now on sale online at vinhillmusic.com. This is a very popular fall event that sells out quickly\, so buy your tickets today! \nThe Louis T. Graves Memorial Library is a full-service free library whose mission is to enrich the lives of all who enter its Kennebunkport historic building. \nAll proceeds support the library’s mission to provide free and unfettered access to knowledge and lifelong learning. \nThank you to our sponsors: Clifford W. Burgess\, Vinegar Hill\, Lark Hotels\, Louise Hurlbutt\, Wallingford Farm\, Michael Kelly\, and Octopus Books \nSPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: CLIFFORD W. BURGESS/2025 Fall Author Night \nHe Loved His Family\, His Town\, Graves Library\, and Roller Coasters \nClifford W. Burgess’ memory lives on with his family’s generous sponsorship of the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library’s October event with award-winning author Adam Higginbotham. \nClifford Wilson Burgess quickly became a man about town when he retired as president of a large\, successful photo engraving company in western Massachusetts and moved to Kennebunkport fulltime\nin 1974. He and his wife\, Mary\, had been vacationing in Maine since 1968. Clifford had a great many passions and interests. He became deeply involved in town politics\, becoming a member of the town’s Planning Board for nine years and a member of the Select Board for six years. He was also active on the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library board and the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust. \nBut it was Clifford’s quirky nature that endeared him to the town’s residents. He was a self-styled Anglophile and was well known in town for walking his Airedale\, Rocky\, around his neighborhood sporting a tweed jacket. A graduate of Bard College\, he was an omnivorous reader and a lifelong student of English history and architecture. He and Mary lived in a Tudor-style cottage that was known as The Shakespeare House. In retirement he became an accomplished oil painter\, and many of his paintings grace the homes of family members and friends. Clifford had a distinctive laugh\, what some might call a giggle. He loved to watch (and rewatch) The Three Stooges\, giggling the whole time. \nClifford had strong opinions about things\, and wrote frequent letters to the local newspapers\, often disagreeing with elected officials and the other powers that be. He knew about literature\, architecture\, history\, and politics\, and he brought those subjects to bear in his lively missives. To combat the debilitating effects of acute arthritis\, Clifford was always on the move\, walking his dog\, riding one of his several racing bikes\, or swimming with friends several days a week in Dover\, New Hampshire. \nBut to those who knew him well\, one of his most charming traits was his love of roller coasters. Over the years\, Mary would drive him all over so he could ride the biggest and the best roller coasters\nAmerica had to offer. He rode each roller coaster twice—one trip in the front seat and one trip in the back seat. Two completely different experiences he would tell you\, a “rode scholar” on the subject. \nClifford died in 2004\, but his legacy lives on. This annual fundraising event supports the free services of the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library\, a special place to Clifford and the town of Kennebunkport.\nAdam Higginbotham\, best-selling author of Midnight in Chernobyl\, will discuss his newest book “Challenger” about the 1986 space shuttle disaster on October 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Vinegar Hill Music\nTheater. \n
