Families are invited to Whitefield Library on Sept. 10 at 10:30 a.m. for a special children's program featuring storiess by local writer Lisa Jahn-Clough and a craft activity. Children will be treated to a read-aloud story and conversation about author and illustrator Lisa Jahn-Clough who has roots on Monhegan Island. Jahn-Clough has received awards from Child Magazine, Parent's Choice, Bank Street, Entertainment Weekly, YALSA, and her work has been featured in Maine’s Raising Readers program.

Whitefield Library's Emma Nelson has been offering popular children's story time programs weekly since spring. She will read a selection of Jahn-Clough's books and invite children to complete a self-portrait themed craft. The activity is free of charge and pre-registration is not required.

This event is offered as part of Lincoln County Historical Association's year-long series on Women Writers of Lincoln County supported by the Raymond McKinley Rideout Jr. and Marguerite Waterman Rideout Fund of the Maine Community Foundation. The public is invited to visit a special exhibit on Lincoln County’s women writers at the Museum & Old Jail, Wiscasset, open on Saturdays and Sundays, noon-4 p.m., until Indigenous Peoples Day.
