SUMMARY:Longfellow Books Presents: Chris Van Dusen's "Big Truck Little Island"
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 10:00am in Congress Square Park as we celebrate the release of Chris Van Dusen’s Big Truck Little Island! The Play Me A Story crew from Portland Stage will be performing the book\, and Van Dusen will be signing copies of Big Truck Little Island (as well as other titles).\n\nInspired by a real event that happened in Maine\, Big Truck Little Island is the story of a community coming together when the only road on the island is blocked by a truck that is\, maybe\, just a little too big. Told in Van Dusen’s utterly delightful signature rhymes\, this is sure to delight kids and parents alike as they follow along to see how the truck gets unstuck!\n\nLongfellow Books would like to thank Portland Stage and the Friends of Congress Square Park for their collaboration on this event.

SUMMARY:Longfellow Books Presents: Book Launch of The Isolation Artist by Bob Keyes
DESCRIPTION:Join Longfellow Books at Congress Square Park for the launch of The Isolation Artist: Scandal\, Deception\, and the Last Days of Robert Indiana by Bob Keyes on Tuesday\, September 7 at 6:00pm. Keyes will be joined in conversation by Monica Wood. This is an in-person event that will be held in Congress Square Park at the intersection of Congress and High Streets. \nAbout the Book:\nWhen reclusive\, millionaire artist Robert Indiana died in 2018\, he left behind dark rumors and scandal\, as well as an estate embroiled in lawsuits and facing accusations of fraud. Here is the true story of the artist’s final days\, the aftermath\, the deceptive world that surrounded him\, and the inner workings of art as very big business. \nWith unparalleled access to the key players in Indiana’s life\, journalist and author Bob Keyes tells a fast-paced and riveting story that provides a rare inside look into the life of an artist as well as the often-unscrupulous world of high-end art. The reader is taken inside the world of art dealers\, law firms\, and an array of local characters in Maine whose lives intersected with the internationally revered artist living in an old Odd Fellows Hall on Vinalhaven Island. \nThe Isolation Artist is an extraordinary window into the life and death of a singular and contradictory American artist—one whose work touched countless millions through everything from postage stamps to political campaigns to museums—even as he lived and died in isolation\, with a lack of love\, the loss of hope\, and lots and lots of money.

SUMMARY:Silent Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to introvert happy hour! Join others who love books every 1st Monday in Congress Square Park throughout the season. Bring a book you’d like to enjoy\, talk with others who love books (if you wish)\, and simply enjoy the ambiance of the Square while reading with others. \n“There’s no assigned reading at Silent Book Club. SBC can happen over coffee\, over lunch\, long distance\, on Instagram\, and in person once a month in more than 40 cities around the world. SBC is about treating yourself. Sitting in a bar with a book. Reading in companionable silence with a friend. Interlacing gossip with recommended authors. And never worrying if you haven’t finished the book.” \nSilent Book Club meets in Congress Square Park every 1st Monday of the month May through September from 5:30 until 7:30pm. \n  \n \nSaveSave \nSaveSave \nSaveSave \nSaveSave
