The Friends of the Belfast Free Library invite the community to hear stories from WAY OUT TO SEA by Eva Murray on Sunday, September 18 at 3 in the Gammans Room of the library. A reception will follow.

Eva Murray moved to Matinicus Island in 1987 to teach in the one-room school. Two years later she married the island electrician and stayed to raise a family there. Over the years she has started a small bakery, become an emergency medical technician, taken on a number of roles in municipal government and volunteer organizations, and started the community’s recycling program. Since 2003 she’s also been a regular columnist for ten Maine publications. She has just completed her flying courses to enable her to be a licensed pilot.

Come join us! A $10 donation at the door to the Friends of the Library will help us fund our projects for the library.
