SUMMARY:Belonging and Belongings
DESCRIPTION:Our belongings help us feel like we belong to this world. This is true\, whether they serve as a grounding and comforting presence in our lives\, or a source of overwhelm. How do you relate to your belongings? Are they simply a backdrop to your life or do they spark particular emotions like joy\, anxiety\, or grief? How do you part ways with cherished belongings that you no longer have the space or use for? Come ready to explore these questions and more\, with deep curiosity and an open heart. Please bring a beloved belonging to share with the group- something that holds special meaning to you or that you are struggling to get rid of. Space limited to 10 people. To reserve your spot\, call the library at 802-985-5124.

SUMMARY:Gone Guys Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:Over the past fifty years\, boys and young men have steadily disengaged from school\, work\, and broader society. They’re falling behind academically\, struggling with loneliness and isolation\, and facing rising rates of substance abuse and suicide. What can we do as a society to help? Join us for a screening of Gone Guys\, a powerful documentary that explores this urgent question. Through candid interviews and compelling storytelling\, the film sheds light on the challenges faced by boys and men today and highlights the people and programs working to reconnect them to purpose and community. \nInspired by Richard Reeves’s influential book Of Boys and Men and set here in Vermont\, Gone Guys offers both insight and hope. Following the 45-minute screening\, stay for a 30-minute panel discussion with local advocates\, who will reflect on the film’s themes and discuss what they mean for our community. A Q&A will follow. All are welcome\, and admission is free. The event is brought to you in partnership with Shelburne Community School. For more information about the film\, visit goneguysfilm.com.
