Hey, LFPL where's my Ned Beatty library card?

Show us your library cards!

I had a hold waiting for me so I just ran over and picked up my new card.

DUE DATE: A LIBRARY DEATH SALON is closing out 2025 with a bang! Join me at @lfpl.bsky.social this Thursday to celebrate spooky season with the horrors of estate law. And on November 17, author Amy Shea will be visiting! See you there.

#deathpositive #louisville
Green text on a black background reads: DUE DATE - A LIBRARY DEATH SALON. October 7-8 p.m. November 6-7 p.m. at the LFPL Main Library in Louisville, facilitated by writer and death doula Becky Robison. In the center is an image of an old-fashioned library borrower's card, featuring columns for date due and borrower's name. But this one is labeled with UPCOMING SESSIONS: 10/23 - Estate law is spoooooky! 11/17 - Dance with death and Amy Shea. An explanation on the side reads: Somewhere between a workshop, a support group, and a weird party, these monthly death salons will help you come face to face with the Grim Reaper—and maybe even befriend him. White and green typewriter text on a black background reads: Death is the great equalizer? Maybe not. Author Amy Shea teaches us to dance with death! For our November salon, we’re welcoming Amy Shea, author of the book Too Poor to Die: The Hidden Realities of Dying in the Margins. Amy will lead us in some discussions and writing exercises about death inequity inspired by the classic imagery of “the dance of death.” There will be books for sale, cool swag, and maybe even some baked goods. Plus, we’re collecting men’s crew length sock donations for St. John Center! Due Date: A Library Death Salon. Louisville Free Public Library South Central Regional Branch

I can think of no spookier Halloween topic than estate law. If you're in Louisville, come join me at the LFPL main branch at 7pm on October 23 for yet another edition of our free death salon. www.deadparentswhatnow.com/events/due-d...
#deathpositive #louisville #estateplanning
White and lime green typewriter text on a black background reads: The only thing scarier than death is finding a lawyer. Estate law is spoooooky! From “dead hand control” to dying intestate, together we can conquer our fear of estate planning. Bring the worries about wills, trusts, and lawyers that possess you, and the rest of us will do our best to exorcise them. Due Date: A Library Death Salon. Louisville Free Public Library Main Branch. October 23, 2025 at 7 p.m. Below that is the logo for My Parents Are Dead, What Now? featuring a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon.

In Louisville, WFPL is in LFPL, and when I was in Bloomington, the local PBS affiliate was in Monroe County Public. That’s my long way of saying you’re absolutely right :)

Hey Louisville! I'll catch you at @lfpl.bsky.social on August 21 for our next death salon. We're talking about donating our bodies to science. Generous? Yes. Confusing? Also yes. Let's figure it out together.

#deathpositive #louisville #deathsalon #deathcafe #library #bodydonation
White and lime green typewriter text on a black background reads: Calling all do-gooders! How to donate your body to science. What does "science" mean in this context? Can you donate your body to anything else? Any reason science wouldn't accept the generous donation of your corporeal form? Find out. Due Date: A Library Death Salon. Louisville Free Public Library Main Branch. August 21, 2025 at 7pm. All this text is atop the faded image of an old-fashioned library book borrowing card. Below this is a logo: a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon surrounded by black text that reads My Parents Are Dead, What Now? Green text on a black background reads: DUE DATE - A LIBRARY DEATH SALON. All sessions 7-8 p.m. at the LFPL Main Library in Louisville, facilitated by writer and death doula Becky Robison. In the center is an image of an old-fashioned library borrower's card, featuring columns for date due and borrower's name. But this one is labeled with UPCOMING SESSIONS: 7/24 - What's dying really like? 8/21 - Donating your body to science. 9/25 - Your funeral rights (not rites). 10/23 - Estate planning is spoooooky. An explanation on the side reads: Somewhere between a workshop, a support group, and a weird party, these monthly death salons will help you come face to face with the Grim Reaper—and maybe even befriend him.

Maeve and I are stretched out on the sofa in my hot-ass home office doing a little light reading. It’s a tough one cos I am no intellectual and I feel like I need to hurry cos it’s in hot demand from the LFPL. I was third in line when I requested it and I’m sure there are others waiting for it now.

Got a #Kobo recently and hooked up my LFPL/Overdrive account to it. Reading my first checked out book on it, and I gotta say, as a longtime physical books only person, I really love the experience of reading on it. 10/10.

Our next library death salon will be about what physically happens to our bodies when we die. Scary? Sure, but that's why we're discussing it together. See you on July 24 at the Louisville Free Public Library main branch, 7 p.m. Check out our other upcoming dates!
#deathpositive #louisville
On a black background, white and green typewriter text reads: What happens when we die? Nobody knows. What happens when we're dying? That we can talk about. The active dying process. From eating less to terminal restlessness, our bodies go through a lot when we're laboring out of life. Learn what signs to look for, and how to make people more comfortable when they're nearing the end of life. Due Date: A Library Death Salon. Louisville Free Public Library Main Branch. July 24, 2025 at 7 p.m. Below that is a cartoon skull with black heart eyes on a lime green heptagon surrounded by text that reads My Parents Are Dead: What Now?

Got early Jefferson County ancestors you can’t find? They might be in Western, St. John, or Portland cemeteries. The Batliner Archive — now at LFPL — could help. See attached event flyer. Questions/RSVP: Contact Kaira Tucker. #genealogy #Louisville

The building in the background is the Crescent Hill branch of the Louisville Free Public Library. This branch is one of the Carnegie-endowed library buildings built in the first wave of branches in the LFPL system.

(Remember when oligarchs spent their money on actually useful stuff?)

Ooh! Look what I picked up, just in time for the Paschal Triduum! (And where I found it.)
A picture of the cover of a DVD of the film Jesus of Montreal. The cover shows a man in a brown suit, holding two suitcases. He is seen from the back, and is shown riding an escalator up into blue sky. In the background, there is the facade of a Carnegie-era public library.
