Share Your Story: An American Conversation at South Cumberland Library

What hopes, concerns, and experiences are shaping life in our community?
Join the library for a small-group, guided conversation where community members can listen to one another, share lived experiences, and reflect on what matters most. This is not a debate, lecture, or town hall. It is a chance to speak from personal experience and hear from neighbors in a respectful setting.
This 60 minute conversation is part of the American Conversation Project, a nationwide civic-listening initiative led by Cortico and the National Conference on Citizenship in recognition of America’s 250th anniversary. With participants’ permission, the conversation will be audio-recorded and contributed to a public collection of community voices. Cortico uses human-led, AI-assisted tools to help identify themes and meaningful moments across conversations; the library helps review and interpret any insights connected to our local community.
Participants may use a first name, nickname, or pseudonym. Please share only what you are comfortable having recorded and potentially included in a public archive. Anyone age 13 or older may participate; participants under 18 need parent or guardian permission.
Please see the attachment for a full list of conversation questions.
Space is limited to support a meaningful conversation. Registration is required here: bit.ly/4i9xmLz
