Judith Upton will discuss her new book, Glimpses of Gate, from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday, September 16 at the Montesano Timberland Library (W.H. Abel Memorial Library), 125 Main Street S. People are welcome to bring a brown bag lunch.

Upton spent 28 years working on her book. As a former resident of Gate, a one-time community between Oakville and Rochester, she has many stories to tell of the town that thought of itself as the gateway to Grays Harbor County.

The program is part of the Lunch for Your Brains series of monthly noontime presentations sponsored by the Friends of the Montesano Timberland Library. For more information, call the library at 249-4211.
