WINE ON-LINE WITH MAINE & VINE

Join us on Thursday, April 15 @ 5:30 pm for a fun hour of tasting, information, and trivia. Local wine gurus, Lani Dietz and Betsy Ross, will guide us through the program with ideas, pairings, and educational tidbits as we sip wines selected by our two experts. This will be a Zoom presentation moderated by Mary-Lou Boucouvalas at Graves Library.
For anyone new to this very popular monthly event, Lani and Betsy choose the pair prior to the event.  Each time, we “experience” wines from a specific country or new varietal.  All participants are encouraged to purchase wine at Maine & Vine in Lower Village, Kennebunk.
Please call the Library (967-2778) to register by Wednesday, April 14 so that we can send you the Zoom link on the day of the event.  We would love to see you!  And you don’t have to worry about driving!

“An excitingly sharp debut novel by the talented newcomer Lauren Wilkinson . . . Rest assured that American Spy will not only keep you turning the pages, it will do much more than that. Wilkinson steeps her thriller in a complicated awareness of huge, thorny themes: race, Cold War amorality, the politics of our intelligence services and the ease with which we can become complicit with deeds we actually abhor.”—NPR “Fresh Air”

A link will be sent to all participants early in the day to access the meeting.  We will be discussing The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult.

 

“The Book of Two Ways is a return for Picoult to the themes of her earliest books—motherhood, complicated romantic love. . . . Picoult, at this point in her career, could skillfully build tension in a broom closet, but the best part of this book is not the suspense; it’s the look at the complexity of a woman as she enters middle age. . . . Picoult always tells both sides of a story not with judgment, but with grace.”—The Washington Post

In the dawning light of a late-summer morning, the people of lower Manhattan stand hushed, staring up in disbelief at the Twin Towers. It is August 1974, and a mysterious tightrope walker is running, dancing, leaping between the towers, suspended a quarter mile above the ground. In the streets below, a slew of ordinary lives become extraordinary in bestselling novelist Colum McCann’s stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people.  [Amazon.com]

PASCO LECTURE SERIES – MAINE AUTHOR DIDI COOPER

We are thrilled to welcome back to Graves Library, Maine Author, Didi Cooper to present her new book The Magic of Missing You on Sunday, March 14 at 2:00 pm.   Ms. Cooper will be interviewed by local bookshop owner Kristen Kuehnle before an audience of none.  Copies of the book are for sale at Bradbury’s Market, Daytrip Society, and Ms. Cooper’s website.  This program will be available for viewing on our Youtube channel and the Kennebunkport local access television.

Didi Cooper is an author living her best life on the coast of Maine. In love with the town of Kennebunkport, she brings the Earth magic she discovers to everything she does.  Didi stumbled unexpectedly into writing both women’s fiction and children’s books at the age of 48. Trained as a teacher and school administrator, Didi earned her doctorate in education in 2016. After 25 years in the field of education, she found herself yearning for a creative outlet; a hobby. She needed a departure from her type A, workaholic personality. She found herself yearning for the coast of Maine, where life was quieter, simpler, and perfectly magical.

The Pasco Lecture Series is supported by the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation, Kennebunk Savings Bank, and the Graves Library Snack Team.
