Now at Howe: February 1, 2025 | |
We have added another program to our Vermont Reads: Gather series of events. "Told in a wry, cautious first-person voice, Kenneth M. Cadow’s resonant novel, a 2023 National Book Award Finalist, brings an emotional and ultimately hopeful story of one teen’s resilience in the face of unthinkable hardships." Copies of Gather can be found at the Information Desk. Any Upper Valley resident can borrow a copy.

Tuesday, February 11 from 6:00-7:00 p.m.
