Join us for a special reading to commemorate the release of "Remember Us" by Jacqueline Woodson, the New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award Winner. This exclusive event will take place at Mechanics' Hall in the vibrant arts district of Portland, Maine. Presented in partnership with Back Cove Books and Indigo Arts Alliance, the evening promises to be a memorable celebration of literature. "Remember Us" is an evocative coming-of-age story set in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, known as "The Matchbox" due to the fires that ravaged it during the tumultuous '70s and '80s. Inspired by her own childhood experiences, Woodson transports readers to a transformative summer in young Sage's life. As the only girl who enjoys playing basketball with the boys, Sage navigates the complexities of adolescence and forms a deep connection with Freddy, an outsider with a unique perspective on life. Together, they confront the pain of loss, treasure the present, and face an uncertain future. Jacqueline Woodson's poignant storytelling captures the essence of a bygone era in Brooklyn while exploring timeless themes of memory, time, and resilience. Don't miss this opportunity to hear from a literary luminary and delve into the heart of "Remember Us."

The zoo is laid out so nicely, with clean bathrooms and places to stop for snacks at just the right time! We went on a Friday and it was not crowded at all.
