At a Death Café, people gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. Our objective is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives. A Death Café is a facilitated discussion group, not a grief support or counselling session. There is no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action.

This Creative Writing Program follows a workshop model. Under the professional facilitation of Library Director Danielle Hubbard, the group meets every two weeks to provide each other with feedback on works in progress. In the intervening weeks, participants email their work to Danielle, who then distributes the writing to everyone in the group. Optional writing prompts are provided before each session. No previous writing experience is required.
