The Lewiston and Auburn public libraries plan to host many programs and challenges for all ages inspired by “Front Desk” by Kelly Yang, for The Lewiston/Auburn Read.

Print copies of the book are available for checkout at both libraries, as an ebook or audiobook on the statewide CloudLibrary app for those with library cards, and at public elementary school libraries, according to a news release from the Auburn library.
