BELLOWS FALLS-The Rockingham Free Public Library announces a special community reading event featuring the book Gather by Vermont author Kenneth Cadow.
Gather is this year's Vermont Reads book, a statewide, one-book community reading program sponsored by Vermont Humanities.
Free copies of the book are available while supplies last at the library, Village Square Booksellers, Flat Iron Café, and Parks Place Community Center. In addition, a book discussion facilitated by Eric Bye from Vermont Humanities will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 6 p.m. at the library to provide readers with an opportunity to share insights and connect with others.
Gather explores themes of community, resources, resilience, and a special dog, making it an ideal selection for meaningful discussions for adults and young adults. When readers finish the book, they're encouraged to pass it on to someone else or bring it back to the library so that it can continue to be shared.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for readers to come together, reflect on important and relevant themes, and gain new perspectives on life in Vermont." said Youth Services Librarian Sam Howard in a news release.
