Alan Rogers, a longtime CVABE volunteer, leads a reading and discussion group at our Barre Learning Center.
CVABE is participating in the Council on Humanities' Vermont Reads project in conjunction with Barre's Aldrich Public Library.
The Day of the Pelican, Paterson’s newest book (published October 2009), recounts the story of a family suddenly turned into refugees, and the trials of life in a war-ravaged world. It traces their journey as refugees after they are brought to America by a church group and begin a new life here in Barre, Vermont.
Our students who have joined Alan are all originally from other countries as well. |
