Event Details
Author Alexandra S. D. Hinrichs and illustrator Jamie Hogan will be at the library to read their book The Lobster Lady. This intriguing picture-book biography tells the true story of Virginia Oliver—the Lobster Lady—who at 102 years old is the oldest person lobstering in Maine.
The Lobster Lady chronicles a day in Virginia's life while illuminating all that she remembers from growing up and starting a family on the mainland in Maine and on her family’s island, called the Neck. Readers get a sense of Virginia’s life and an idea of all that goes into lobster harvesting.
Copies of the book will be for sale courtesy of G. Willikers Books and Toys.
This event is free and open to all. Please register!
