We are very pleased to offer another Maine Author Series through the spring beginning in April.
Please join us on Saturday, April 18th, 1:00-2:00 in our Main Reading Room for a reading and discussion by the author of Voting Down the Rose: Florence Brooks Whitehouse and Maine’s Fight for Woman Suffrage. We’ll explore Florence’s life up to 1914 and her leadership in moving suffrage forward in Maine. Slides of historic photos accompany this lively talk, which lasts about 40 minutes.
