The Scarborough Public Library will host a monthly “Let’s Talk America” forum beginning Thursday, Oct. 30, at 6:30 p.m.

“Let’s Talk America” is a nationally recognized program that encourages meaningful, civil conversation among local citizens on current local, state, national and world topics. Through small, moderated groups, participants are encouraged to share opposing views on pre-selected topics in hopes of bridging differences and building understanding. The sessions will be moderated by local resident Sam Kelley.

The topic for the first gathering is: I am voting for McCain/Obama and here’s why. Following the discussion, participants will select the topic for the next forum, Thursday, Nov. 6 at 6:30 p.m.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Kelley at 650-1814, or visit www.library.scarborough.me.us.
