Who Does Not Like to be Read a Story?
Remember how great it was to be read to as a child? Now you can relive that joyful experience as an adult! Just tune us in and tune out the world for a few minutes of well-chosen words. Graves Library presents a merry band of readers to share a story, maybe some music, or parts of a play each Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm on Facebook, Youtube, and the local cable channel (#1301).
Tune in, sit back, and listen to a diverse mix of quality stories, poems, tales, essays, drama, songs and more by the Portside Readers, a small group of local actors, writers, book club members and a musician who love the written word and want to share the joys of reading and listening. Readers include Steven Price, Val Reid, Bob Danzilo, Karen Stathoplos, Cynthia Graves, Bob Domine, Joe Foster, Bart Weyand, Nancy Viehmann and Pam Thompson.
You are in for a real treat!
Please join us at the Graves Library on Sunday, April 27 @ 2:00 pm for our annual poetry reading.
The former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins once wrote: “All babies are born with a knowledge of poetry because the lub-dub of the mother’s heart is in iambic meter.”
We invite you to bring a poem to read that you have written, share a favorite poem by another author, or just hunker down and listen. Inaugurated in April 1996, National Poetry Month brings together publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools, and poets around the country to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. Be part of the celebration! Light refreshments will be served.
The Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library is located at 18 Maine Street, Kennebunkport. For further information, please call 967-2778 or visit our website at www.graveslibrary.org.
