STAMFORD, Vt. — The Stamford Community Library will host a presentation titled "Books, Buddhas, and Buns: Three Trips to China" on Thursday, April 24, at 6:00 p.m.

The one-hour program will be presented by Stamford resident Caroline Burch. The presentation will recount her three trips to China, where she visited book printers as part of her work at Storey Publishing.

This program is part of the library's Armchair Travel series, which is scheduled to continue in May with a presentation on Baja California and Mexico City.

The Stamford Community Library is located at 986 Main Road, Stamford, VT. Refreshments will be provided, and the event is open to the public.

Former Aerus Employee Keeps Business Going

BENNINGTON, Vt. — A former Aerus Electrolux employee has started his own business to keep the filtration company’s products and services in the area.

When Aerus Electrolux — known for selling and servicing vacuums and air purifiers—abruptly closed at the end of December, Tyler Waldron decided to help local customers continue getting serviced by opening Tyler’s Healthy Home.

"They offered me something called the distributor program, which means I still can carry the product, the supplies, [and] still honor the free yearly service checks for any Aerus Electrolux products."

His new business is operated out of his home office, however, he still offers various Electrolux products and services including free air quality tests and service checks.

Currently he is the only employee, but has plans to open a storefront and expand his team as the business grows.

Waldron had started working at Aerus Electrolux's Pittsfield location in January 2025 and was learning to become the next owner.

"It's kind of crazy to think about that in a year, you can go from an employee to a business owner but that was the goal from the beginning," he said.
