Please join us to discuss the 2022 VT Reads book The Most Costly Journey (El viaje más caro) next Thursday at 7:00. We'll be talking in-person at the library, lead by Emily Purdy and Pastor Ed Sunday-Winters. We will also have a Zoom call if you prefer to join from home. Check the library website program calendar for the Zoom link, and please email Emily at greensborokids@gmail.com to let her know you'll be joining over Zoom.
Free copies of The Most Costly Journey are still available at the library, and you don't need to join the discussion to take one.
Much of the work on Vermont dairy farms is done by people from Latin America. Over a thousand migrant laborers from Mexico and other countries milk cows, fix tractors, shovel manure, and take care of calves in our state. This graphic novel tells the stories of 19 of these workers in their own words. Illustrated by New England cartoonists in a variety of styles, each short chapter describes aspects of life as an immigrant farm worker in Vermont: crossing the southern border, struggling with English, adapting to winter, growing gardens, raising children, dealing with health crises, and working long hours.
