Programming for Adults
February Library Book Club – Unlikely Animals by Annie Hartnett “Set against the backdrop of a small town in the throes of a very real opioid crisis, Unlikely Animals is a tragicomic novel about familial expectations, imperfect friendships, and the possibility of resurrecting that which had been thought irrevocably lost.” Email [email protected] to learn more or to be added to our book club e-mail list. Find the ZOOM link in our website calendar at www.greensborofree.org | Feb 29th at 2:00 PM or via ZOOM at 7:00 PM |
Death Café with Library Trustee Sharon Putney Gather with people – often strangers at first- to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. The view of the founders of the Death Café movement is that, “when it comes to death, people have enough to discuss already…. giving extra input or setting too much of an agenda risks being presumptuous, restrictive and/or disempowering.” Some of the topics that have come up in local Death Cafés here and in Albany have been Green burial, Hospice, Death Doulas, Death with Dignity, Suicide, Advanced Directives, loss of pets, and religious traditions. Everyone is welcome! | Thursday March 11th 11 AM |
