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:Death Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Death Cafes offer a welcoming space to gather and increase awareness of death so we can make the most of our finite lives. Moderated by Shelburne resident Nick Marconi\, these intimate monthly discussions provide an opportunity to share stories\, voice concerns\, ask questions\, and reflect together on this universal part of life. Conversations vary depending on who’s in the room. They may explore existential or philosophical themes\, or shift toward practical topics such as DNR forms\, wills\, and rights of survivorship. While these discussions can be challenging\, open and heartfelt dialogue helps build community and fosters a sense of connection that enriches our lives in the present. To register\, call the library at 802-985-5124.
