BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. — The Rockingham Free Public Library is excited to announce a special community reading event featuring the book “Gather” by Vermont author Kenneth Cadow. 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 the VT Humanities, will be held on 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.
“We are thrilled to bring this book to our community and create a space for discussion,” said Sam Howard, youth services librarian. “This is a wonderful opportunity for readers to come together, reflect on important and relevant themes, and gain new perspectives on life in Vermont.”
