• Reading & Discussion: “Our Last Best Act: Planning for the End of Our Lives to Protect the People and Places We Love”

  <p><strong>Thursday, October 12, 10:00 am&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>Location: Room 302 <strong>at the Iowa City Senior Center</strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><a href="http://apm.activecommunities.com/iowacityseniorcenter/Activity_Search/17329" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Register online</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;or call 319-356-5220&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Written almost in a memoir style, author Mallory McDuff walks us through her exploration into end-of-life planning--principally after-death planning—that reflects the environmental values in which she was raised and which she teaches to her students as an Environmental Educator at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina. After the sudden death of her mother, McDuff's father crafts a two-page death plan that spells out what is today known as a green burial for his body disposition; the experience of following his wishes years later gives the author incentive to put something in writing for her own family. With two children to consider, McDuff works to find the most environmentally responsible, affordable plan for herself, walking us through the options available to her in clear and engaging language.</p> 2023-09-08 12:00:00 -0500

Discussion will be informal, with a chance for everyone to talk about what they’ve read, what they thought about it, and how the book fits into that month’s theme. Themes can be found on the library's website under the "Adult Programs" tab.</p><p>Please see the library's events calendar -- <a href="https://marionpubliclibrary.libnet.info/events">marionpubliclibrary.org/events</a> -- for the most up-to-date information regarding programming and events.</p> 2023-11-21 19:00:00 -0600
