Upcoming Events

Wednesday, May 27, 6:30-8pm

Dr. Aharon Zorea, Professor of History
University of Wisconsin–Platteville

In a world where people spend so much time online, communication practices have shifted, often becoming depersonalized and misinterpreted.  Learn a brief history of effective communication strategies and identify some basic elements to help your personal interactions. Dr. Zorea includes practical recommendations on how we can adapt our communication into better digital habits, with the goals of:

  • Increasing our communication skills (generally);
  • Developing strategies for discussing difficult topics in a civil manner; and
  • Encourage a more constructive attitude for managing uncivil (or potentially hostile) interactions with others who strongly disagree.

SAVE THE DATE!
Come to the Table:  Community Conversation on Mental Health
Part of the Mt. Horeb Public Library's Disagree Better Series 

Date & Time: Tuesday, July 21, 5:30-7:30 pm
Location: Mount Horeb High School 
Registration: Required.  Sign up here beginning June 1.
Support: Child care will be provided.
 
How do we support mental health in our communities?
Join us for a free pizza dinner and a meaningful evening of small-group conversation focused on improving mental health in our community!
 
What to Expect
Attendees will be seated in small groups, each guided by a discussion moderator. Together, participants will explore multiple perspectives, engage in thoughtful deliberation, and work toward shared solutions.
Unlike debate—which often centers on persuasion or winning—this conversation will use a deliberative dialogue approach. Participants will consider trade-offs, reflect on competing values, and engage with the complexity of mental health challenges—recognizing that there is no single “right” answer. This format fosters deeper understanding, mutual respect, and collaborative problem-solving.
 
Following the event, key themes and insights from the discussions will be compiled into a report and shared with the community and local stakeholders to support continued action and conversation.
