‘Yankee’ Speaker at Hobbs Library

LOVELL — The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library in Lovell on Thursday, June 18, at 6 p.m. welcomes Mel Allen, who will present “Listening to New England,” a 45-minute PowerPoint that draws from his nearly half century of reporting and writing about the unique people and places of New England for Yankee magazine. 

Along the way Allen will talk about Yankee’s past and how it has survived for 90 years since its founding in 1935. After the talk, he’ll answer questions and meet with audience members who wish to have him inscribe copies of his new book, Here in New England: Unforgettable people, places and memories that connect us all.
