2010 Midcoast Community Read

This year’s Community Read book title is Glory in the Name: A Novel of the Confederate Navy by Harpswell resident, James Nelson. Nelson is a former professional sailor who is committed to bringing to life America’s historical connection with the sea. Glory in the Name received the 2004 William Boyd Award for Excellence in Military Fiction.

PFL's Children’s Community Read books, Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain by Edward Ardizzone and Iron Thunder: The Battle Between the Monitor & the Merrimac by Avi, are quite complimentary to the adult one. Read now and look forward to great maritime activities in March!
