WASHINGTON — Gibbs Library will host poet Megan Grumbling and novelist Bill Roorbach on Saturday, June 29, at 4 p.m., in the Bryant Room. These two Maine writers will read their poetry and prose, sign books, and take questions from the audience.

“Join us for an afternoon of poems, stories, conversation, and delightful community,” said Gibbs, in a news release.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
