Join us for discussion about death and learn how to host your own community conversation on death and dying. Coffee, tea, and sweet treats will be provided.
Death cafés were started in England by John Underwood, who hoped to improve his community’s willingness to talk about death and, in doing so, improve the quality of their lives. In the last two decades, death cafés have been hosted in all corners of the world and continue to grow in popularity. Death cafés are designed to be organic conversations, without prompts, and can cover anything from logistics of preparing for death to beliefs about the afterlife, fears about death, and connecting with ancestors. Join us for discussion about death and learn how to host your own community conversation on death and dying. Coffee, tea, and sweet treats will be provided. (Death café is not a grief support group or counseling session but resources on both can be discussed at this event.)

In 2004, Chesterfield County residents voted in favor of a bond issuance to build a new library in the Courthouse Road area. A site was selected thanks to a generous donation from Mr. Jim Craze. Ground was broken for the new library on November 14, 2013. The North Courthouse Road Library is a 20,000 square foot state-of-the-art library designed for LEED (Leadership in Energy and and Environmental Design) certification. Site and building features include a system for recycling rainwater, protection of existing wetlands, rapidly renewable bamboo panels at book stacks and more. Library service features include a multi-function flexible meeting room, a collaborative working space for business owners, and an outdoor reading veranda.
