Join Friends of the Lopez Library and Lopez Library on Thursday, May 14 at 7 p.m. at the Port Stanley School as we host a unique and moving program featuring Lopez Island local Barbara Carver discussing her journey to India. Barbara’s father was raised in northern India in Pauri Garhwal. Her grandfather, a Methodist Missionary, was living and working in the area. Pauri sits in the foothills of the snow-bound peaks of the Himalayas, and her father attended the historical Woodstock School there. The Woodstock School was founded in 1854 and in its earliest days coincided with the dominance of the East India Company. Though the Woodstock School was managed by Americans during the Raj, at times it provided refuge for families who opposed British rule in India. Barbara’s grandfather helped build the local church and another school as well. Her journey, which began much farther south, truly bloomed as she connected with the world her father and her ancestors called home. Her story of love, commitment and the boundless world of family will move you and is accompanied by photographs. With this program, the library pursues a new focus on one of our featured digital resources: Ancestry.com. As you consider discovering your own story, join us for Barbara’s  story.
