Join reporters from Maine Public and the Maine Trust for Local News for the final session in the Issues & Conversations series of the season at Lithgow Public Library. What’s going on in Maine that you’d like to see covered? What is happening in your community that we should be aware of? What do you like and not like about our respective coverage of the news so far in 2025?
