"When I speak of Maine, I speak of the Maine Humanities Council. Literacy in its many forms is the Council's chief gift to Mainers. For me the Falmouth seminar paces the year, giving an opportunity for rich reading, thoughtful questioning and lively talk. Always I arrive at the seminar full of anticipation, eager to join our fine leader and quick-witted group, to engage and to learn."

"The Maine Humanities Council has been one of my major discoveries of how good life is in Maine. It's more than a center for the book, it's a center for intellectual ferment and lively work."

-Robert Lynn, seminar participant and facilitator for the Council's Thoughtful Giving reading and discussion program
