SUMMARY:Philosophy Book Club: Between the World and Me
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next session of Philosophy Book Club as we explore Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates\, a profound meditation on race\, identity\, and systemic power. Written as a letter to his son\, Coates’s book grapples with philosophical questions about existence\, the body\, and the legacy of racial injustice. Through a personal and philosophical lens\, he examines how history shapes the present and challenges us to confront the ideologies of race. This book offers a compelling framework for reflecting on justice\, freedom\, and the path toward transformation in a divided world. Copies of the book are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are welcome!

SUMMARY:Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Death Cafes are opportunities to gather and increase awareness of death so that we might make the most of our finite lives. Shelburne resident and optometrist Nick Marconi has been leading local death cafes for over 10 years (most recently at Village Wine and Coffee). Now he’s here with us at the Pierson Library in a new monthly series of intimate discussions\, where we’ll voice concerns\, share stories\, questions\, and think together about this hard fact of life. It’s not always easy. But when we share\, heart to heart\, we build community and experience a special joy that enhances our lives now. To register\, please call the library at 802-985-5124.
