This fall and winter, Latham Memorial Library will host the book discussion series, Gastronomy: Novels about Food and Culture. One of the most tantalizing ways to learn about a culture is through its food. These mouth-watering novels highlight how what we eat is closely aligned with who we are. Discussions will take place on: 10/12/2023,11/9/2023, 1/25/2024, 2/22/2024.
These sessions are free, open to the public, and accessible to those with disabilities. The discussions will be offered in person at the library and via zoom for those who prefer to attend from elsewhere. Books will be available on loan in advance. For more information, call (802) 785-4361 or send an email to librarian@thetfordlibrary.org
