Maine Author Talk: So You Think You Know Maine!

Presented by Tim Caverly

Monday, October 28 at 6:00pm

DISCOVER the birth place of Bambi, ice caves, ghost railroads, pictographs, oceanic whirlpools and TALES which can only be described as CLASSIC MAINE. LEARN Why is there a cove in Washington County called "Bailey's Mistake"? And where did the "Lexington of the Seas" occur?

Tim Caverly has spent his life in Maine’s outdoors. Growing up shadowing his father who was a fire warden with the Maine Forest Service and his brother, a ranger in Baxter State Park, it was natural for him to seek a career in the outdoors. Tim is originally from Skowhegan, Maine and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree and a teaching certificate from the University of Maine at Machias. He is the author of the Allagash Tails Collection.

Bring whatever you're currently working on or a project you want to start. You don't have to be there right at the beginning--drop in any time you're available between 5 and 7pm on Tuesdays. You can even use this time to work on something for the Friends of the New Gloucester Public Library's hat, scarf, and mitten drive!
