A mourning mother, a group of girls, and the power of rehabilitative poetry. Join us for a book talk with poet, teacher, and author Sharon Charde on her new book I am Not a Juvenile Delinquent about her time teaching poetry to incarcerated youths. The death of a child and the subsequent quest for coping strategies is hardly a new story. For psychotherapist, teacher, and critically acclaimed writer Sharon L. Charde, a decade of writing therapy with young women helped her let go of much of her grief, or at least learn how to carry it differently. This is her account of her journey. Compelling, appealing, poignant, and often hilarious, I Am Not a Juvenile Delinquent chronicles the passion that grew for pushing voices out into the world. But what happens when Sharon finally grasps that the most challenging experiences are the best teachers? Narrated in five parts, the book also contains poems written by the girls, as well as excerpts from their writing, Sharon’s son’s writing, and her own. Readers will learn the journey of letting go of grief and loss. Perfect for readers who are inspired to use writing as a tool for grief therapy and for fans of the acclaimed movies Stand and Deliver and The Freedom Writers Diary. Sharon Charde has edited and published an anthology of poems from her years of workshops with at-risk girls, I Am Not A Juvenile Delinquent, which won the PASS award from the National Council on Crime And Delinquency. She has won numerous poetry awards, including first prize for three chapbooks, honorable mention for another, and a finalist for a fifth. Charde was a licensed professional counselor, now retired, with twenty-five years of experience working with families, women’s groups, couples, and individuals.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Tuesday, June 1 & Thursday, June 3 America's First Ladies The Best, The Worst & The Strangely Forgotten - Virtual EventAmerica's First Ladies The Best, The Worst & The Strangely Forgotten - Virtual Event – America's First Ladies The role of First Lady comes with no job description, no pay, and no written requirements. Yet America’s presidential spouses have wielded great influence and have always been subject to intense public scrutiny. In this fascinating illustrated lecture, historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., explores which First Ladies have rated highest and lowest – or most in-between -- with historians. Who do you think was best or worst? Why were some so vilified? And what might the future hold for the role of American First Lady? Leslie Goddard is an award-winning actress and scholar who has been presenting history programs for more than ten years. She holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University specializing in American studies and U.S. history as well as a master’s degree in theater. A former museum director, she is the author of two books on history and currently works full-time as an author and public speaker. Her programs have been presented for hundreds of museums, libraries, senior centers, clubs, and other organizations around the country.
