Please join us on Thursday, January 11 at the Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol for the first One World Library program of 2018, "Mundo Pequeño—Small World".

"Mundo Pequeño" means “small world” in Spanish, but it is also the name given to an epic 12,000-mile journey through the Americas this past year by Cameron Russell, Eli Bennett and Noah McCarter.

These three friends turned their love of adventure, people, and cycling into a mission to see just how small the world really is. In January 2017, they began their cycling journey near the tip of South America in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, traveled up the rugged west coast of South America through Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, made their way through Central America’s wet jungles, before finally reaching home in Vermont eleven months later.

With a budget of only $20 per day and bikes packed with camping gear, they were met with many acts of kindness and generosity from the people they met along the way. Throughout their trip, they documented stories of these people and witnessed the shared humanity that exists between us all.
