The library is at 40 Mercer Road.
Culley will read from her newest releasees, “The Name She Gave Me” and “The Natural Genius of Ants.” Culley’s reading will be followed by an 11 a.m. book signing.
Culley’s debut novel in verse, “Three Things I Know Are True,” was a Kids’ Indie Next List Top Ten Pick, an ALA-YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Nominee, and the 2021 Maine Literary Book Award Winner for Young People’s Literature. Her first middle-grade novel, “Down to Earth,” is inspired by her fascination with meteorites, voyagers from another place and time.
