Piping Plover Book Reading on Chebeague Island

  • Chebeague Island Library 247 S Rd Unit 3 Chebeague Island, ME, 04017 United States (map)

Location: Chebeague Island Library

Join us for a family-friendly event to celebrate the piping plovers that nested on Indian Point on Chebeague last summer (and appear to be getting ready to do so again this year)! Local author and teacher Andrew Fersch and artist Bruce Hutchison will read from their new book The Piping Plover. The book tells the story of a young girl who notices these endangered birds on her local beach and works to educate her community about them. A book signing, art activity for kiddos, and refreshments will follow the reading.
