SUMMARY:Coffee & Conversation: Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a monthly gathering where we explore meaningful topics over a cup of warm coffee. Coffee & Conversation is a space for sharing\, listening\, and connecting. This month we’ll be tackling the topic of democracy. Whatever your political affiliations\, the idea of a government for and of the people is a founding principle of our nation. But what is democracy and what isn’t? Is it under attack right now? And if so\, what lengths do we think are appropriate to go to in defending it? This may be a thorny topic\, but we’ll engage with it as good neighbors and eat donuts while we do so.

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:Monday Morning Book Club: God of the Woods
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of God of the Woods\, the latest novel by Liz Moore. Set in the Adirondacks in 1975\, the story begins when 13-year-old Barbara Van Laar disappears from summer camp. As the daughter of the family that owns the camp—and with a brother who vanished years earlier—her disappearance sets off a gripping search that unearths long-buried secrets. Rich with suspense and layered storytelling\, this is Moore’s most ambitious novel yet. Copies of the book are available at the front desk\, and new members are welcome!
