ONE BOOK ONE LAKE
The public libraries of the five towns that surround Candlewood Lake--Brookfield, Danbury, New Fairfield, New Milford, and Sherman—have launched a partnered reading program for Summer of 2009. The program features Bill Bryson’s “A Walk in the Woods,” a humorous and fascinating book about his attempt as a middle-aged adult to hike the Appalachian Trail.
Young adults and adults are invited to borrow a copy of this marvelous travelogue from a participating library. Some 1,100 copies of the book are available to eager readers.
Throughout the summer months, a series of events is planned for all five towns. Some invite readers to discover the history of the Appalachian Trail and Candlewood Lake; some encourage exploration of Connecticut’s trails, waters, and skies. Still others invite folks to celebrate the arts in the woods, with artistic opportunities and gourmet cooking classes.
