SUMMARY:Philosophy Book Club: S.S.O.T.B.M.E.
DESCRIPTION:From Plato to Ta-Nehisi Coates\, and now a foundational text of chaos magick whose intellectual (and perhaps cosmic) depth is matched only by its accessibility. S.S.O.T.B.M.E. by Ramsey Dukes\, AKA Lemuel Johnstone\, AKA Lionel Snell\, may find fault lines in consensus reality but (as opposed to more pointedly woo woo texts of mysticism) requires no buy-in from the reader and can be read and appreciated from a purely rationalist-scientific-secular-materialist perspective. A slippery\, trippy\, often delightfully witty\, and profound work. The perfect text for our philosophers to undertake! Copies available at the front desk. New members always welcome.

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. Shelburne resident and optometrist Nick Marconi has been leading local death cafes for more than 10 years (most recently at Village Wine and Coffee). Now he’s here at the Pierson Library in a new monthly series of intimate discussions\, where we’ll voice concerns\, share stories\, ask questions\, and think together about this fact of life. 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.

SUMMARY:From Frustration to Peace and Connection: Five Powerful Shifts to Transform Your Parenting with Natalie Raby
DESCRIPTION:The authoritarian way most of us have been taught to parent can create conflict\, frustration\, and endless power struggles and leave us with broken and distant relationships with our children. When we parent without working through our own history\, we are destined to repeat painful patterns we ourselves experienced as children\, no matter how much we want things to be different. Natalie Raby is a certified parent coach who brings to this important work a combination of formal education in counseling\, child development\, and psychology\, as well as experience as a teacher\, school counselor\, and mother of four.
