HARDWICK — The Jeudevine Memorial Library welcomes Author Kathy Elkind at the Jeudevine Memorial Library on Monday, June 3, at 6:30 p.m., to read from and discuss her book, “To Walk is to See it,” about the joy of long-distance walking.
In 2018, Kathy Elkind and her husband decided to take a year in Europe and walk the 1,400-mile Grande Randonnée Cinq (GR5) across The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. Walking day after day for 98 days brings sickness, accommodation struggles, language barriers, and storm-shrouded mountains in the Alps.
Kathy Elkind is a long-distance walker, writer, and eater. Along with her husband, she has walked the GR5, the Andalusian Coast to Coast Walk in Southern Spain, and parts of the Cammino Materano in Italy.
The event is free and open to the public. The library is located at 93 North Main Street. For more information, call (802) 472-5948.
