AUGUSTA — Join Maine author Caitlin Shetterly as she reads from and discusses her latest book “Modified: GMOs and the Threat to Our Food, Our Land, Our Future” Wednesday, June 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lithgow Library, 45 Winthrop St. This event, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the Community Room.
This book is a deeply personal, disquieting and meditative look at the issue that started the biggest food fight of our time – genetically modified organisms.
