- **Event Name**: Facing A Flooded World  Why Relationship is the Sweetest Way
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Thursday, February 12, at 6 PM, Shawna Trader will be presenting at the Jeudevine Memorial Library: Facing A Flooded World: Why Relationship is the Sweetest Way. Central Vermont endured catastrophic flooding in 2023 and 2024. Now, the horizon looks different. An America with less disaster-response support seems likely, as the planet continues to warm and rain falls hard and fast. This presentation will explore several examples of community-building projects that, in turn, are proving to be pathways towards resilience. We are not doomed to endure passively the rising water and the changeful times. Community care is possible and necessary. We’ll explore The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton and how this prescient story points to the power of relationship as we look to the future. Copies of the book are available for free at the library while supplies last, but you do not need to read it to attend the talk!

Shawna is a caregiver, parent, poet and community organizer. Raised on the Gulf Coast of Florida, she has seen her share of storms. After many years in healthcare, she found herself leading The Rainbow Bridge Community Center in Barre, which became a convergence point for the catastrophic flood response in 2023. Recognizing the interconnectedness of community building, disaster preparedness, and response, she continued that work as Chair of Barre Up, Barre City’s long-term recovery group. 

This talk is free, open to the public, and accessible. For more information, contact the Jeudevine at 802-472-5948 or jeudevinelibrary@hardwickvt.gov.

Facing a Flooded World is a Vermont Humanities program hosted by the Jeudevine Memorial Library with support from the Friends of the Jeudevine.
