The Friends of Lithgow Library are happy to announce that our 2024 A Capital Read selection is Tess Gerritsen’s The Spy Coast. A retired CIA operative in small-town Maine tackles the ghosts of her past in this fresh take on the spy thriller in Gerritsen’s latest book.

What is A Capital Read? It is a “one book” community read project spearheaded by Lithgow Library, in Augusta, and sponsored by the Friends of Lithgow Library. How do you participate in A Capital Read?
