Join the Conversation: Read ME Books

The Read ME book selections are here at Bridgton Public Library and ready to be checked out! We have several copies of this summer’s selections: Sigh, Gone by Phuc Tran, and Beneficence by Meredith Hall. This program, sponsored by the Maine Humanities Council, is another way the library can connect you to other readers from around the state. 

There will be several call-in opportunities as well as author readings and book discussions. Be part of the conversation.
