SUMMARY:Shelburne Writes! Poetry Contest
DESCRIPTION:Calling all poetry lovers! Shelburne Writes! is a poetry contest open to writers of all ages\, offering recognition to the top poets in four age categories: elementary school (K-4)\, middle school (5-8)\, high school (9-12)\, and adult (two winners will be chosen from this category). All types of poetry all welcome: traditional\, prose poetry\, experimental poetry\, etc. The subject matter of your entry should be somehow connected to Vermont—it can be as loose as the action simply taking place in Vermont; we are open to your interpretations on the theme. The contest is only open to residents of Shelburne\, and entries will be judged blind by a committee that includes both the Shelburne junior and adult Poet Laureates. Winners from each category will have their poems published in the Shelburne News and will also be highlighted at a poetry reading held at the Library on April 28 at 6:00 pm. Everyone who enters the contest will be invited to attend and read their entries. \n

SUMMARY:Monday Morning Book Club: My Beloved World
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of My Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayor\, a candid and inspiring memoir by the first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court. Justice Sotomayor traces her journey from a Bronx housing project to the nation’s highest court\, reflecting on a childhood shaped by loss\, resilience\, and a fierce determination to succeed. Diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at a young age\, she learned early the importance of self-reliance\, discipline\, and ambition. Along the way\, Sotomayor explores the mentors\, friendships\, and life experiences that guided her path through Princeton\, Yale Law School\, and a distinguished legal career. Both deeply personal and broadly resonant\, the memoir offers a powerful meditation on perseverance\, empathy\, and the promise of opportunity. Copies are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are always welcome!
