SUMMARY:Soulful Vision Boarding with Terri Severance
DESCRIPTION:We spend so much time in our heads\, and yet our deepest knowing lies in our hearts. Join soul coach\, educator\, artist\, and magic worker Terri Severance for an inspiring vision-boarding session to correspond with the new moon in Capricorn. Soulful vision boarding allows us to get out of our own way and lets our hearts reveal what we might not even know we are ready to hear. This practice is part play\, part reflection\, and all intuition where we dream out loud on paper allowing our subconscious mind to bring in desired images.

SUMMARY:Monday Morning Book Club: If Anyone Builds It\, Everyone Dies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of If Anyone Builds It\, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All by Eliezer Yudkowsky\, an urgent and provocative examination of the existential risks posed by artificial intelligence. Drawing on decades of research into machine intelligence and alignment\, Yudkowsky argues that the global race to create superhuman AI is placing humanity on a path toward catastrophe. The book explores how sufficiently advanced AI systems could develop goals misaligned with human survival\, why such systems would be impossible to control once created\, and how even well-intentioned efforts could lead to extinction-level outcomes. Clear-eyed and uncompromising\, the book challenges readers to rethink technological progress\, responsibility\, and what it would take to change course before it’s too late. Copies are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Exhibitionists Book Club: On Point Tour (Offsite at Shelburne Museum)
DESCRIPTION:The Exhibitionists are back with another series pairing great books with exhibits currently on display at Shelburne Museum. This year\, in addition to the free gallery visits and discussions held at the Pierson Library\, we’re adding a third creative response event at the Charlotte Library (a new partner on this series). This first event this season is a tour of the Museum’s exhibit On Point\, led by Public Programs Educator Kat Redniss. On Point\, at the Dana Spencer Textiles Gallery\, features schoolgirl artworks from the Garthwaite Family Collection. Expect extraordinary sewing boxes\, theorem paintings\, silk-on-silk embroideries\, and more. We all think this will go swell with Karen Russel’s 2006 collection\, St. Lucy’s Home for Girl’s Raised by Wolves\, up for discussion at the Pierson Library later this month. For this tour\, meet at the side gate of the Shelburne Museum\, directly to the right of the entrance.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: The Frozen River
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon\, a gripping historical mystery inspired by the real life of 18th-century midwife Martha Ballard. Set in Maine in 1789\, the novel begins when a man is discovered frozen in the Kennebec River and Martha is called upon to determine the cause of death. A respected healer and keen observer of her community\, Martha keeps a detailed diary that soon entangles her in a web of secrets\, accusations\, and injustice\, particularly when her findings contradict those of a powerful local physician. As suspicion deepens and a trial approaches\, Martha pursues the truth despite growing personal risk. Richly researched and vividly told\, the novel brings to life a courageous woman who defied social conventions to seek justice in a world determined to silence her. Copies are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Exhibitionists Book Club: St. Lucy's Home for Girl's Raised by Wolves
DESCRIPTION:When Karen Russel’s debut short story collection fell onto our collective psyches in 2006\, it made some lasting alterations to the landscape of literature. A singularly weird and raucous vision. Come with us as we check in on it on its twentieth anniversary and reflect with it in conjunction with Shelburne Museum’s exhibit of On Point: Needlework from the Garthwaite Family Collection. This book/exhibit discussion will take place at the Pierson Library and be facilitated by Shelburne Museum’s Kat Redniss. And mark your calendars for June 4th\, when Kat will lead the Exhibitionists on a creative response at our partner’s library in Charlotte. Copies available at the first-floor circulation desk.
