Fireside Chat
with Susan Hand Shetterly
author of Settled in the Wild: Notes from the Edge of Town

Susan Hand Shetterly

Thursday, March 4
6:30 pm

In “Settled in the Wild,” naturalist Susan Shetterly looks at how animals, humans, and plants share the land—observing her own neighborhood in rural Maine. She tells tales of the locals (humans, yes, but also snowshoe hares, raccoons, bobcats, turtles, salmon, ravens, hummingbirds, cormorants, sandpipers, and spring peepers). She expertly shows us how they all make their way in an ever-changing habitat.Come meet Susan, hear her talk and join in the discussion. copies of Settled in the Wild will be available for sale and for the author to sign.

Photography by Mark Brandhorst

The library is currently exhibiting a display of photographs taken in Maine, Utah and Grand Manan Island in New Brunswick, Canada. Mark is a resident of South Paris. He says, "Sharing the wonders of nature is a passion for me. In person, through sculpture or photography, they all give me a chance to introduce what I see to others."

The photographs will be on view through April and may be seen any time the library is open.
