On two evenings in August, several dozen Valley Regional students gathered at the Chester Library to discuss one of the books on their school’s required summer reading list with Chester resident Sally Murray. Shown above are a few of the attendees, left to right, David Ramage, Megan Winslow, Morgan Winslow, Kenna Campbell and Ben Bourez.
