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.
