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. \n

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Yellowface
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of Yellowface\, the bestselling novel by R.F. Kuang. When up-and-coming author Athena Liu dies in a tragic accident\, fellow writer June Hayward seizes the moment\, and Athena’s unpublished manuscript. Rebranded as Juniper Song\, June rockets to literary fame with a stolen story about Chinese laborers in World War I. But as the truth threatens to surface\, June must reckon with the cost of her deception. Told in a sharp\, compulsively readable voice\, Yellowface explores questions of authorship\, cultural appropriation\, privilege\, and the power of social media. Copies of the book are available at the front desk\, and new members are welcome!
