Serving the Community College of Vermont & Vermont State University
Vermont Reads is a statewide reading program run by the Vermont Humanities Council. Each year VHC staff select a book that all Vermonters can read together and participate in community activities related to the book’s themes.
The book this year is Gather by Vermont author Kenneth M. Cadow. Gather is the story of a Vermont teenager and his dog, and touches on the themes of rural life, resilience, class differences, addiction and recovery, housing and food insecurity, a deep relationship to the land, and the power of community.
The VSCS Libraries are happy to participate in this year's Vermont Reads program!
Pick up a print copy of the book at any of the Vermont State Colleges libraries (Locations & Hours - ask at the circulation desk) or follow the link below and place a request to get a copy through the mail.

Gather is available through the Libby and Palace Project ebook apps for most Vermont public library patrons. If you don't currently have a library card (but are in Vermont), you can download the Palace Project app provided by the Vermont Department of Libraries and put "Book Vermont Library" as your library. You should be able to reserve the ebook there.
The VSCS Libraries have created a publicly available Canvas course to provide information on the book and host an ongoing discussion.
Join one of our system-wide discussion events on Zoom. Drop-in event. All VTSU and CCV students, faculty, and staff welcome.
Also look for Vermont Reads events at public libraries around the state.
