Join us Saturday, July 9, 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. at the Railway Village Museum for Books in Boothbay, the largest single-day literary event in Maine! This free, family-friendly literary event brings Maine authors and book lovers together. Books in Boothbay is an annual celebration of Maine authors, and the Maine literary tradition.

Event partner Sherman's Maine Coast Book Shop hauls in thousands of titles, and facilitates all the book purchases, allowing authors to spend the day signing books and meeting fans. Proceeds from book sales are shared between Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library and the host venue, Railway Village Museum.

Each year an ever-changing lineup of more than thirty Maine authors come to Boothbay to highlight their most recent publications. Authors span all genres: fiction, poetry, nonfiction, adult and children’s authors, and includes international, national and State award winners.
