The Scituate Town Library and STRIDE invite you to a LIT Conversation.
February 7 | 6 - 7:30 PM | Scituate Town Library Community Room

The Scituate Town Library and Scituate Together for Representation, Inclusion, Diversity & Equity (STRIDE), invite you to a LIT Conversation, featuring Jamele Adams as facilitator. LIT means Love, Inclusion, and Trust. Our next conversation will explore the topic of food insecurity in our community and we will be joined by Jim Pollard, Director of Outreach at the Scituate Food Pantry. You will find resources available on this topic at the Scituate Town Library website (www.bit.ly/LITScituate).

This community conversation will be held in person on February 7th from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Scituate Town Library.

Our conversation agreement is as follows:

-Be curious and listen actively to understand how others' experiences have shaped their perspectives.
-Show respect by suspending judgment; setting aside judgment opens you up to learning from others.
-Note common ground as well as differences. Seek to understand, rather than to persuade. Question your own assumptions and look for new insights.
-Be your authentic self; speak from your own experiences and with sincerity.
-Be purposeful and concise, so that others have time to share.
-Be conscious of your use of body language and nonverbal responses.
