E.B. White at Night, co-hosted by Carver Memorial Library
July 11, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$5
July 11th, 5:30-8:00 pm
After visiting Maine during childhood summers, writer and children’s author E.B. White eventually settled in Brooklin, Maine. On the 124th anniversary of E.B. White’s birth, join the Penobscot Marine Museum and Carver Memorial Library for an evening celebrating the author. Visit the FAINT ENDEAVOR, a sailing dinghy once owned by White, and enjoy Penobscot Marine Museum’s new exhibit, “Rusticators on the Water!” Listen to fans read their favorite E. B. White passages, from his New Yorker days to his classic children’s tales. Bring your own favorite reading and a picnic dinner and join in the fun! We will have 2 ½ hours of open mic night and look forward to hearing what parts of E. B. White’s writing really spoke to you.
Free, suggested admission $5
