A Father’s Gift

June 13, 2012June 1, 2012 by KDesantis

Just in time for Father’s Day, join us at the Pember Library on Sunday, June 10 at 2:00 PM when Tim Bryant, author of “A Father’s Gift” will be doing a reading and book signing.

Tim’s book is a collection of stories from a time when the family farm was the economic center of Vermont. There are photographs and anecdotes describing the special relationship between father and son and the lessons learned in day-to-day life on the farm. Tim talks about how writing the book gives him insights into being a father himself.

Tim has lived his whole life in Vermont. He graduated from Burr and Burton and studied mechanical engineering at UVM. In 1972, Tim and his wife, Nancy, bought the Pawlet farm where they still live.

The Pember Library is located at 33 West Main St in Granville NY. Call 518 642-2525 for further information.
