The Forster Fellas Book Group, in partnership with Midcoast Council Libraries, runs the Midcoast Big Book Arvo.

It's an annual event where three panels discuss themes, ideas and merits of three books chosen by our followers. Each panel's discussion is guided by a moderator who encourages the audience to get involved.

Our three great reads for 2026 are:

James by Percival Everett

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
