A motor coach tour to King Arthur Flour on Saturday, November 3, crowns the fall events presented by the Pawlet Public Library in conjunction with Vermont Humanities Council's Vermont Reads 2018 programs featuring the book Bread and Roses, Too by Vermont author Katherine Paterson.
Copies of the book will be available to read on the motor coach, and in route will be a showing of Collective Voices, a 21-minute documentary about the famous 1912 Lawrence textile strike. At King Arthur Flour the group will participate in a tour and demo, and lunch is on your own at King Arthur's café or bakery. The 36-passenger motor coach departs from the Pawlet Public Library on November 3 at 9 a.m. and returns at 5:00 p.m. Advanced registration with $55 payment to Pawlet Public Library is required.
On Tuesday, November 13, 1 p.m.-2 p.m., the library's Tea Read Book Club invites the public to a book discussion about Bread and Roses, Too. The final session in the library's Vermont Reads 2018 programs is at the Slate Valley Museum on Saturday, November 17, 1 p.m.-2 p.m. to view exhibits that interpret the immigration experience of many families who moved to the local area to work in the slate industry. The book discussion is free, and the museum visit is $5. Both are open to adults, young adults and children.
