PORTLAND — The Portland Public Library will host an event encouraging people to become more active citizens 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29.

Civic Saturday will include a talk by Eric Liu, founder and CEO of Citizen University. The university is a nonprofit with a mission to foster a more responsible and empowered citizenry.
