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:Democracy in Our Time: A Screening of The Librarians
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of the documentary The Librarians\, which follows librarians as unlikely first responders in the fight for democracy and the First Amendment. The film reveals how control over ideas can become control over communities\, and how librarians are pushed to the front lines of that struggle. In Texas\, the so-called Krause List targets more than 850 books centered on race and LGBTQIA+ stories\, setting off a wave of book bans that has spread across the United States at an unprecedented pace. As tensions rise\, librarians from across the country draw connections between heated school and library board meetings\, exposing the extremist forces driving today’s censorship campaigns. Facing harassment\, threats\, and laws designed to criminalize their work\, these librarians stand firm in their defense of the freedom to read. Their story serves as a powerful and chilling warning about what’s at stake. A short group discussion will follow the screening to explore the role of intellectual freedom in a healthy democracy. \n
