SUMMARY:Pop-up Book Club: The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning
DESCRIPTION:On facing our eventual demise\, beyond estates\, wills\, and directives\, there is an additional consideration: what to do with all our stuff? The Swedes have a name for this\, döstädning\, or death cleaning\, the gentle art of minimal owning to lighten the burden on our survivors. With kind humor and a necessary lightness for the potentially hard topic\, Magnusson details the concept brilliantly in The New York Times bestseller\, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning. This pop-up book club conversation will be facilitated by space doula Tana Paddock and organization and productivity consultant Jo Durocher. Limited copies of the book are available to borrow at the first-floor information desk.

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. Moderated by Shelburne resident Nick Marconi\, these intimate monthly discussions are a place to voice concerns\, share stories\, ask questions\, and think together about this fact of life. The conversations will inevitably vary depending on who’s in the room\, sometimes meandering into existential and/or philosophical terrain\, sometimes segueing into the practicalities of DNR forms\, wills\, and rights of survivorship. 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.
