Buddy Doyle reading and signing

Discover even more of Maine's beloved reading culture in this joyful follow-up to Where Maine Reads—a celebration of the inclusive literary community that makes the Pine Tree State so special.

What makes Maine's reading culture unique? It's the way books bring together book club members and librarians, teachers and artists, sports coaches and nonprofit directors, politicians and poets. In Maine, everyone has a story about their favorite reading spot, and everyone's voice matters in the conversation about books.

Maine's Still Reading features 50 new portraits by photographer Buddy Doyle, capturing Mainers of all backgrounds curled up with their latest read in Adirondack chairs by the water, porch hammocks and armchairs in front of the fire. Each portrait includes original reflections from the readers themselves, sharing not just where they read, but why these moments and places matter to them.
