Friends of the Library Author Event with Eva Murray

The Friends of the Belfast Free Library invite the community to hear stories from WAY OUT TO SEA by Eva Murray on Sunday, September 18 at 3 in the Gammans Room of the library. A reception will follow.

Eva Murray moved to Matinicus Island in 1987 to teach in the one-room school. Two years later she married the island electrician and stayed to raise a family there. Over the years she has started a small bakery, become an emergency medical technician, taken on a number of roles in municipal government and volunteer organizations, and started the community’s recycling program. Since 2003 she’s also been a regular columnist for ten Maine publications. She has just completed her flying courses to enable her to be a licensed pilot.

Come join us! A $10 donation at the door to the Friends of the Library will help us fund our projects for the library.
