Westbrook-Gorham Rotary donated two books each to Walker Library in Westbrook and to Baxter Library in Gorham in celebration of the holiday season. “Frieda Makes a Difference” is a picture book published by the United Nations about a young girl named Frieda who embarks on a wonderful adventure to bring about positive change in the world. “Cyrus Field’s Big Dream” is by local author Mary Morton Cowan. It is a STEM non-fiction book for middle grade readers about one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century: laying a transatlantic telegraph cable to create instant communication between two continents.
Pictured here are children’s librarians Jeff Knox and Deb Tanguay from Baxter Library holding the donated books.
