Stamford Library to Feature Presentation on Travels in China
STAMFORD, Vt. — The Stamford Community Library will host a presentation titled "Books, Buddhas, and Buns: Three Trips to China" on Thursday, April 24, at 6:00 p.m.
The one-hour program will be presented by Stamford resident Caroline Burch. The presentation will recount her three trips to China, where she visited book printers as part of her work at Storey Publishing. Burch, who retired as the Production Director at the North Adams-based book publishing company after 36 years, traveled to China in the early 2000s to visit suppliers and experience the local culture.
This program is part of the library's Armchair Travel series, which is scheduled to continue in May with a presentation on Baja California and Mexico City.
The Stamford Community Library is located at 986 Main Road, Stamford, VT. Refreshments will be provided, and the event is open to the public.
