A Special Event at

Thomaston Public Library

July 17, 7:00 pm

Come and join the discussion with

Sandra Sylvester

Author of The South End and

The blog

“Beyond the South End”

And

Head Librarian,

Ann Harris

We will discuss the strong sense of cultural regionalism or “sense of place” which is unusually strong in our Great State of Maine. Why do we have these strong feelings, where do they come from? Why do visitors from out-of-state love us for it?

Sandra will discuss the topic in relation to her book, The South End. She will have books on hand for sale and signing for those who are interested. If you already have a book that is unsigned, please bring it with you and Sandra will be glad to sign it for you.

Ann will add her discoveries about the subject and tell you why it is so important to Maine people and to her. Discussion with the group is anticipated and welcomed. Come join us and discover why Maine people are so unique.
