The public libraries of the five towns that surround Candlewood Lake – Danbury, New Fairfield, Sherman, New Milford and Brookfield – have planned a series of events related to Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods, his humorous and fascinating book about his attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail. The title was chosen since a portion of the famous trail traverses the northwest corner of Connecticut.

The participating libraries of Brookfield, Danbury, New Fairfield, New Milford, and Sherman thank our communitites for the success of this new partnered reading program.
