Let’s Talk About It

The Let’s Talk About It free, facilitated book discussion program, has been a staple of Ocean Park and local libraries throughout Maine.

The program is supported by the Ocean Park Association, the Maine Humanities Council, Maine State Library and the Maine Community Foundation. The books in this series are available at the OPA office:
