WINTHROP – The Bailey Library will host forester and writer Laurie Apgar Chandler at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27, as part of the Winthrop Lakes Region Forum. The forum is sponsored by the Winthrop Public Library Foundation.
The memoir was described as a “personal and mesmerizing account of a transformative paddling journey” by the Northwoods Sporting Journal, and it provides a comprehensive look at the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, the country’s longest mapped inland paddling trail.
Chandler holds degrees in biology and forestry and worked for many years as a research forester. She is the author of numerous scientific publications. She lives year-round in Maine, sharing her parents’ log cabin in Bremen, and enjoys swimming, canoeing, hiking and snowshoeing.
The library is at 36 Bowdoin St., and the program is free and open to the public.
