AUGUSTA -- Lithgow Public Library's Maine Authors in May series will feature three Maine authors talking about their books.

* At 6:30 p.m. on May 9, Earl Smith will read from his new comic mystery, "The Dam Committee." In the book Smith, the former dean of Colby College, writes about life in the fictitious village of Belfry, a summer resort nestled between two lakes separated by a dam.

* Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Barbara Walsh of Winthrop will visit at 6:30 p.m. May 16. Walsh is author of the memoir "August Gale: A Father and Daughter's Journey into the Storm."

* Former Capital Weekly columnist Milton Huntington will talk about his new book, "A Lifetime of Laughter," at 1 p.m. May 23. In the book, Huntington reminisces about Augusta in days gone by, close encounters with celebrities and politicians, hunting and fishing yarns and assorted humorous tales.

All programs will take place in the Reading Room of the library, located at 45 Winthrop St. There is no cost and all are welcome.
