First in new Appleton library series features historian/author

APPLETON — The Appleton Library, 2916 Sennebec Road, launches its new “Tuesday Titles” program May 24 at 6 p.m. The first speaker is historian and author Trudy Irene Scee, the library coordinator.

Scee will speak primarily about her latest work, “Pemaquid Point Lighthouse” (History Press), as well as discuss her other book published during the pandemic, “Garden Cemeteries of New England” (Down East Books). She will talk briefly about the process of writing history, and introduce her latest works. “Pemaquid Point Lighthouse” traces the history of the light to its beginnings, and includes information about New England and Maine lighthouses in general.
