LIVERMORE FALLS — The Treat Memorial Library has been selected by the Maine Humanities Council to offer “Let’s Talk About It,” a free reading and discussion group with copies of books available through the library. This program is provided by the Maine Humanities Council’s Maine Center for the Book in cooperation with the Maine State Library.

The series Refreshing the Whodunit will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, and will continue for a total of five sessions, through Jan. 8.

Books to be read and discussed in this series include “The Beekeeper’s Apprentice” by Laurie King (Sept. 11), “Dance Hall of the Dead” by Tony Hillerman (Oct. 9), “The Skull Mantra” by Eliot Pattison (Nov. 13), “A Cold Day for Murder” by Dana Stabenow (Dec. 11) and “Murder at the Nightwood Bar” by Katherine V. Forrest (Jan. 8).

Scholar Maryanne C. Ward of the Maine Humanities Council will facilitate the discussions.

“Exploring ideas and issues through literature has always been exciting and fun,” said Lizz Sinclair, director of “Let’s Talk About It.” “We find that there is great interest among adults in getting together to discuss what they’ve read with others. Having a discussion leader like Maryanne C. Ward who is both excited about the readings and skilled in facilitating can help to deepen this experience.”

Books for the program are available for loan at the library. Space is limited so call the library at 897-3631 to register and come in to pick up the first book of the series. The library is open Tuesday 1 to 7 p.m., Wednesday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday 1 to 7 p.m., Friday 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This program is offered to Maine libraries through the Maine Humanities Council by a grant from the Belvedere Fund of the Maine Community Foundation.
