LOVELL — Good stories written for teens and children are great for all ages, as authors Terry Farish and Elizabeth Atkinson, will discuss at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 25, on “Meet the Author,” a monthly online series hosted by the Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library.
The two Maine authors will talk about issues challenging today’s youth, as well as offer tips on getting children and teens to read.
The event is free and open to the public at a link posted on the library’s website, www.hobbslibrary.org.
Farish writes picture books, young adult novels and nonfiction, and has won the American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults. Many of her books for children and teens are about families who have come to the U.S. as refugees, including “Either the Beginning or the End of the World,” winner of the Maine Literary Award for YA literature.
Atkinson, author of several pre-teen novels, writes coming-of-age stories set in New England. Best known in Maine for her novel, “The Island of Beyond,” inspired by summers on Kezar Lake, her books have gathered several honors, including three Gold Moonbeams, the International Book Award for Children’s Fiction, and the National Council of English Teachers Notable Book Award.
“Meet the Author” is co-sponsored by Bridgton Books and White Birch Books, of North Conway, N.H.
