Join the Thomaston Public Library on Christmas Eve for a special bear-themed Early Bird Storytime. A special story time guest will read from his children’s book, Bear Moonlight Sonata. A bear holiday craft with children’s librarian, Joanna Hynd will follow. Story time on Saturday begins at 9 a.m.

Steven D. Powell is a life-long resident of the Midcoast. He currently lives in Thomaston with his wife, Linda. Bear Moonlight Sonata is his third published book and first children's book. His book is a fictional story about Ludwig van Beethoven’s inspiration for his masterpiece “Moonlight Sonata.” Told from the bear’s point of view it is a fun work of fiction with beautiful illustrations by local artist, Thomas Block. Copies of Bear Moonlight Sonata will be available for sale.
