SUMMARY:Maine at 200: What Should Life Be?
DESCRIPTION:Join Pittsfield Public Library\, along with writer and retired professor Elizabeth Cooke\, for three rich discussions grounded in readings that foreground the opportunities and challenges of life in Maine.

Please contact the library for more information on how to access the readings and join the discussions. \nThis program is part of the Maine Humanities Council‘s Discussion Project\, a flexible opportunity for Maine communities to host text-based discussions that meet their own needs\, whether working independently or as part of an organization.
