One Book, One Lake
Walk in the Woods BookOne Book, One Lake: A Summer Reading Program
July 2009 
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. 

Join us as we celebrate this book and bring awareness to the Lake and our natural surroundings with several weeks of programs and activities for the entire family.  Visit onebookonelake.org for full details and information.

Concert on the Plaza
Saturday, July 18 at 2:00-3:15pm

That's no trombone you're hearing, that's Lipbone Redding! This accomplished musician, who started out making music in the subways of New York, "...mimics the sounds of trombone, trumpet and percussion instruments with startling accuracy." (New York Press) Lipbone has traveled across the U.S., down to South America, and made his way along the banks of the Ganges River in India. With each destination came more music and more sounds. He's sure to have something for everyone. Bring along a picnic and enjoy an afternoon of great music!
