Copies of the book are available at the front circulation desk.The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since.Timothy EganÕs critically acclaimed account rescues this iconic chapter of American history from the shadows in a tour de force of historical reportage. Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, Egan does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes, Òthe stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgency and respectÓ (New York Times).In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst Hard Time is Òarguably the best nonfiction book yetÓ (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of trifling with nature.This book discussion is held in partnership with the PBS show American Experience.

Why is it we help in times of crisis? We have a gift. We are stronger than Mundanes, plain and simple. At the dawn of their adolescence, on the eve of the summer solstice, four young girls--Helena, Leonie, Niamh and Elle--took the oath to join Her Majesty's Royal Coven, established by Queen Elizabeth I as a covert government department Now, decades later, the witch community is still reeling from a civil war and Helena is now the reigning High Priestess of the organization. Yet Helena is the only one of her friend group still enmeshed in the stale bureaucracy of HMRC. Elle is trying to pretend she's a normal housewife, and Niamh has become a country vet, using her powers to heal sick animals. In what Helena perceives as the deepest betrayal, Leonie has defected to start her own more inclusive and intersectional coven, Diaspora. And now Helena has a bigger problem. A young warlock of extraordinary capabilities has been captured by authorities and seems to threaten the very existence of HMRC. With conflicting beliefs over the best course of action, the four friends must decide where their loyalties lie: with preserving tradition, or doing what is right. Juno Dawson explores gender and the corrupting nature of power in a delightful and provocative story of magic and matriarchy, friendship and feminism. Dealing with all the aspects of contemporary womanhood, as well as being phenomenally powerful witches, Niamh, Helena, Leonie and Elle may have grown apart but they will always be bound by the sisterhood of the coven.How to Attend This event takes place on Zoom.

Books are available on 2nd Fl.The gripping true story of a murder on an Indian reservation, and the unforgettable Arikara woman who becomes obsessed with solving it--an urgent work of literary journalism.When Lissa Yellow Bird was released from prison in 2009, she found her home, the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota, transformed by the Bakken oil boom. In her absence, the landscape had been altered beyond recognition, her tribal government swayed by corporate interests, and her community burdened by a surge in violence and addiction. Three years later, when Lissa learned that a young white oil worker, Kristopher "KC" Clarke, had disappeared from his reservation worksite, she became particularly concerned. No one knew where Clarke had gone, and few people were actively looking for him.Yellow Bird traces Lissas steps as she obsessively hunts for clues to Clarkes disappearance. She navigates two worlds--that of her own tribe, changed by its newfound wealth, and that of the non-Native oilmen, down on their luck, who have come to find work on the heels of the economic recession. Her pursuit of Clarke is also a pursuit of redemption, as Lissa atones for her own crimes and reckons with generations of trauma. Yellow Bird is an exquisitely written, masterfully reported story about a search for justice and a remarkable portrait of a complex woman who is smart, funny, eloquent, compassionate, and--when it serves her cause--manipulative. Drawing on eight years of immersive investigation, Sierra Crane Murdoch has produced a profound examination of the legacy of systematic violence inflicted on a tribal nation and a tale of extraordinary healing.

Books are available on the 2nd floor.I have a meanness inside me, real as an organ. Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas." As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived--and famously testified that her fifteen-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who've long forgotten her. The Kill Club is a macabre secret society obsessed with notorious crimes. When they locate Libby and pump her for details--proof they hope may free Ben--Libby hatches a plan to profit off her tragic history. For a fee, she'll reconnect with the players from that night and report her findings to the club . . . and maybe she'll admit her testimony wasn't so solid after all. As Libby's search takes her from shabby Missouri strip clubs to abandoned Oklahoma tourist towns, the narrative flashes back to January 2, 1985. The events of that day are relayed through the eyes of Libby's doomed family members--including Ben, a loner whose rage over his shiftless father and their failing farm have driven him into a disturbing friendship with the new girl in town. Piece by piece, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Libby finds herself right back where she started--on the run from a killer.AccessibilityNeed sign language interpretation or other accessibility assistance for this event?

"Our Westside Story: Preserving Our History" is dedicated to bridging that gap-providing a platform for community members, archivists, and storytellers to discuss the importance of preserving our past and our right now. Through monthly listening sessions, this initiative will educate, inspire, and empower Westside residents to document their own histories. Featuring conversations with local archivists, artists, and everyday people, each session will highlight best practices for preservation and share untold stories that deserve to be heard. This effort isn't just about reflection, it's about action. Listeners will walk away with tangible ways to record, safeguard, and share their histories for future generations. By amplifying voices from the Westside, we ensure our community's legacy lives on. For our first listening session, please join Legler's Artist-in-Residence, Kenn Cook, and his guest, Westside native Drea Slaughter, to discuss the collecting of oral histories.

Weâll watch and CHIRP Radio volunteers will discuss. Come for one film or enjoy the entire day's programming!Lineup:10am - Jazz On A Summer's DayNoon - Tale of the Tape2pm - Smoke Songs / Taqwacore10am -Jazz On A Summer's DayFilmed at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island and directed by world-renowned photographer Bert Stern, Jazz on a Summer's Day features intimate performances by an all-star line-up of musical legends including Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Gerry Mulligan, Anita O'Day, Chuck Berry, Dinah Washington, and closes with a beautiful rendition of The Lord's Prayer by Mahalia Jackson at midnight to usher in Sunday morning. The film has been beautifully and extensively restored in 4K from the best surviving vault elements by IndieCollect. 85 minutes. Not rated.Noon - Tale of the TapeTale of the Tape takes an unabashed look at the role The Mixtape played during the growth of Hip Hop music from the 1970's to now. Many may find it hard to believe, but there was a time when Hip Hop music did not dominate all the charts as well as have artist cross over to pop status. Long before the days of platinum and gold success, a rapper's worth was in the DJ's placement within his mix. As the art form fought for legitimization, DJs were recording their performances and customizing music mixes for their loyal fan base, not only to make financial ends meet, but to also laying the groundwork for the street based culture. Ultimately, it would be the growing popularity and increased necessity of The Mixtapes created by DJ's that would serve as the lifeline to Hip Hop, as it grew into the most celebrated art form. 75 minutes. Not rated.2pm double screening - Smoke SongsPunk rock and human rights donât necessarily share a common cause but for the family band Blackfire, their music and their message are integral parts of a solid identity. Born in the Navajo Nation, Arizona, the band mix electric guitars with traditional chanting and rhythms. Including high-energy concert scenes, stunning cinematography, and intelligent conversations on the issues facing Native American youth, this rock documentary tells the personal lives of one family and a band fighting for what they believe in. 20 minutes. Not rated.TaqwacoreTaqwacore chronicles the nascent Muslim punk rock movement in America. It was inspired by the work of Michael Knight, who converted to Islam in rebellion against his white-supremacist father. He went on to pen the novel The Taqwacores (a term combining the Muslim concept of God consciousness with hardcore punk), a manifesto for disillusioned Islamic teens. Soon young Muslim musicians were contacting him and a tour idea was hatched. The film follows Knight and a variety of young subversives on tour as they shock and awe spectators in the U.S. before bringing their music to Lahore. They break every taboo along the way, from staging a lesbian thrash act at an Islamic convention to stomping on the American flag. As Knight exclaims, theyâre giving the finger to both sides. The film charts their brave, foolish, and often exhilarating attempts to navigate the gap between their cultures and their countries, their religion and their individuality. 80 minutes. Not rated. #SummerGapChicago Public LibraryMusic & Art01399

When her dreams of rising through the police ranks like her late father crash around her, 26-year-old Emma Djan is unsure what will become of her life in Accra. Through a sympathetic former colleague, Emma gets an interview with a private detective agency tracking down missing persons, thefts, and marital infidelities. It's not the future she imagined, but it's her best option. Meanwhile, Gordon Tilson, a middle-aged widower in Washington, DC, has found solace in an online community after his wife's passing. Through the support group, he's even met a young Ghanaian widow he really cares about, and when her sister gets into a car accident, he sends her thousands of dollars to cover the hospital bill--to the horror of his only son, Derek. When Gordon runs off to Ghana to surprise his new love and disappears, Derek chases after him, fearing for his father's life. The case of the missing American man will drag both Emma and Derek into a world of Sakawa scams, fetish priests, and those willing to keep things secret through death.How to AttendThis event takes place in person.

It was long ago, but not as long as it seems: The Berlin Wall fell and the Twin Towers collapsed. In between, one presidential election was allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. In the beginning, almost every name and address was listed in a phone book, and everyone answered their landlines because you didn't know who it was. By the end, exposing someone's address was an act of emotional violence, and nobody picked up their new cell phone if they didn't know who it was. The 90s brought about a revolution in the human condition we're still groping to understand. Happily, Chuck Klosterman is more than up to the job. Chuck Klosterman has written a multi-dimensional masterpiece, a work of synthesis so smart and delightful that future historians might well refer to this entire period as Klostermanian.Accessibility Need sign language interpretation or other accessibility assistance for this event?

Copies of the book are available at the front circulation desk.Harper Dupree has pinned all her hopes on a future in fashion design. But when it comes crashing down around her, she returns home to Fairhope, Alabama, and to Millie, the woman who first taught her how to sew. As Harper rethinks her own future, long-hidden secrets about Millie's past are brought to light.In 1946, Millie Middleton--the daughter of an Italian man and a Black woman--boarded a train and left Charleston to keep half of her heritage hidden. She carried with her two heirloom buttons and the dream of owning a dress store. She never expected to meet a charming train jumper who changed her life forever . . . and led her yet again to a heartbreaking choice about which heritage would define her future.Now, together, Harper and Millie return to Charleston to find the man who may hold the answers they seek . . . and a chance at the dress shop they've both dreamed of. But it's not until all appears lost that they see the unexpected ways to mend what frayed between the seams.How to Attend:This event takes place on Zoom. Register at least 24 hours before the event.

Seeing her brother, Rafa, careening toward a place of no return, Rufina devises a bet: if they can make enough money performing for privileged tourists in the plaza over the course of the weekend to afford a plane ticket out, Rafa must commit to living. If not, Rufina will make her peace with Rafa's own plan for the future, however terrifying it may be. As the siblings reckon with generational and ancestral trauma, set against the indignities of present-day prejudice, other strange hauntings begin to stalk these pages: their mother's ghost kicks her heels against the walls; Rufina's vanished child creeps into her arms at night; and above all this, watching over the siblings, a genderless, flea-bitten angel remains hell-bent on saving what can be saved.

Benson II, author of Fighting for Our Place in the Sun, Dr. Gordon K.

"Almost everything about Wallace, an introverted African-American transplant from Alabama, is at odds with the lakeside Midwestern university town where he is working toward a biochem degree. For reasons of self-preservation, Wallace has enforced a wary distance even within his own circle of friends -- some dating each other, some dating women, some feigning straightness. But a series of confrontations with colleagues, and an unexpected encounter with a young straight man, conspire to fracture his defenses, while revealing hidden currents of resentment and desire that threaten the equilibrium of their community." -From the publisherHow to AttendCopies of this month's selection will be available 30 days prior to the event at the 7th floor Literature and Language reference desk at Harold Washington Library Center (400 South State Street, Chicago IL, 60605).

As Maddy is still reeling from the murder, a stranger shows up in the bakery claiming to have been a friend of Octavia. He believes Maddy is in danger. When a second body washes up on the lake shore, it seems clear someone's out to kill to keep a secret--and it may have to do with her great aunt." --provided by publisher.Join us in a lively discussion of the book and let's find out what happens next.

Newly arrived in the heady world of Manhattan, Ripley meets a wealthy industrialist who hires him to bring his playboy son, Dickie Greenleaf, back from gallivanting in Italy. Soon Ripley's fascination with Dickie's debonair lifestyle turns obsessive as he finds himself enraged by Dickie's ambivalent affections for Marge, a charming American dilettante, and Ripley begins a deadly game. "Sinister and strangely alluring" (Mark Harris, Entertainment Weekly) The Talented Mr. Ripley serves as an unforgettable introduction to this smooth confidence man, whose talent for self-invention is as unnerving--and unnervingly revealing of the American psyche--as ever."How to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

It tells us that all structure in the observable universe was seeded by quantum fluctuations which were later magnified to cosmic proportions. However, it also raises the possibility that inflation never ends everywhere, creating new universes forever. This talk will discuss how physicists arrived at this prospect, and why it could be conceptually useful.Our speaker is Akhil Premkumar, an Associate Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics at University of Chicago. He works broadly on quantum cosmology, with particular focus on the inflationary era.How to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

And in the Department of Unorthodox Affairs, the Auditors are the magical elite, government-sanctioned witches with spells at their command and all the power and prestige that comes with it. Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby is...not one of those witches. After flunking out of the Auditor training program and being dismissed as "not Department material," Grimsby tried to resign himself to life as a mediocre witch. But he cant help hoping hell somehow, someway, get another chance to prove his skill. That opportunity comes with a price when his former mentor, aka the most dangerous witch alive, is murdered down the street from where he works, and Grimsby is the Auditors number one suspect. Proving his innocence will require more than a little legwork, and after forming a strange alliance with the retired legend known as the Huntsman and a mysterious being from Elsewhere, Grimsby is abruptly thrown into a life of adventure, whether he wants it or not. Now all he has to do is find the real killer, avoid the Auditors on his trail, and most importantly, stay alive. How to Attend: This event takes place on Zoom.

But why do we tattoo, scar, or ink our skin? In this workshop series we will engage global tattoo traditions and histories spanning from ancient civilizations to present day meanings of tribal tattooing, and more. From tattoo folk art influences in the contemporary art world to cultural significances and stereotypes about prison and gang culture tattoos, we will explore our preconceptions about tattoo art and use these comparisons to talk about our own identities, body image, and colonial legacies leading to modern day misconceptions about race. Throughout this monthly workshop series we will delve into tattoo techniques, styles, and symbols as we craft, sketch, and draw our own tattoo designs. This is the first program for Tattoos & Tribes, a virtual series by Jose Luis Benavides, YOUmedia teen associate at Back of the Yards Branch. How to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

But there is a popular mystery sub-genre that involves tasty morsels and satisfying stories.

This event is sponsored by Friends of the Edgewater Library to celebrate National Friends of Library Week. Jenn McKinlay is the bestselling author of the Cupake Bakery Mystery series. A former librarian, she is also the author of four other series and a number of womenÕs fiction novels. She lives in Arizona and continues to write mostly in her kitchen as her apartment is always full of pets, kids, and guitars. Mia P. Manansala is a writer and book coach from Chicago who loves books, baking and bad-ass women. She uses humor (and murder) to explore aspects of the Filipino diaspora, queerness, and her millennial love for pop culture.

Paul Wilson. Vampires have always lived in Eastern Europe. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, they began to spread across the continent, then the world, turning whole populations into vampires--or human cattle. Having overrun India, the far East, and the great cities of North and South America, the forces of Night are now spreading into the countryside to consolidate their conquest. In a town on the New Jersey shore, the vampires have just arrived, along with their human henchmen, the cowboys, who round up human cattle for the overlords in return for the promise of eternal life---later. For the vampires wish only a few of their own kind to rule, and feed. The rest of humanity are to be helpless herds, the source of the blood of life. Falsely accused of abuse, Father Dan is drunk in a basement waiting for the end. His superior has betrayed the local Catholic congregation and become a vampire. Sister Carolyn has become a formidable killer of cowboys and vampires. Dan's niece, escaped from the conquest of New York, has made her way south to find him. Brought together by Rabbi Zev Wolpin, who is shaken by the vampires' fear of the cross and holy water, they plan their resistance. Against all odds, they discover that there just might be a way for humanity to really fight back. But first they will have to kill the vampire king of New York.

Advance planning for a funeral is a blessing, not a curse. It is a gift of pure love and considerate behavior that one can give as their final gift in life. You will eliminate the burden of the emotional decisions, emotional spending, and financial stress for your loved ones. Susana Padilla experienced the loss of her partner after 24 years of marriage, passing at the age of 50. His death led her to learn about Pre-Planning and motivated her to advocate for other families by becoming a State licensed Pre-planning advisor. Her goal is to inform them that there is another option besides waiting when the inevitable is facing you. ThereÕs no need to be unprepared to handle the logistics surrounding the death of a loved one. ÒWe protect our family throughout our lives.

Packers are usually worn by trans masculine folks, nonbinary folks, and drag performers to create a bulge in the pants. These packers are naturally sweat and odor repellent, naturally resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew, and are super light weight. They also have soft fabric on the back to prevent itchiness against the skin, and the ability to secure them to the underwear so they don't move around throughout the day. Needle felting is an easy craft to learn, but it is time consuming, so get your favorite podcast or TV show lined up before diving into this if you like listening to something in the background while you work!Edmund Green Langdell (they/them) is an ever becoming enby, whose work focuses on promoting human and environmental wellbeing through design and education.

Please join us to discuss in Never Saw Me Coming, where Tanya Smith shares her deeply personal and remarkable story of how she went from a precocious young girl to a money-grabbing, computer-savvy wiz. It starts out as a keen interest in technology and innocently acquiring phone numbers to Michael Jackson, as well as other celebrities, and moves to her successfully stealing and depositing $5,000 into her grandmother's banking account. By the time she is 18, the risk takes her confiscated millions in cash. The FBI is not on her tail and hauls her in for an interview, demanding Smith let them know who she's working for, "as these are not the kind of crimes Black people are smart enough to commit." Their words indicating that intelligence was determined by race, severely offended Smith, up for the challenge, she proves the FBI wrong and over time steals $40 million dollars, while security diamonds, gold bars, and other commodities. Her lifestyle attracts the wrong kind of people, even those who set out to kill her. Law enforcement persisted, ultimately dubbing Smith 'one of the single biggest threats to the entire Unites States banking system." She receives an outrageous prison sentence-the longest for a white-collar offense-and is eventually released by mounting her own brilliant defense. Complete with unexpected twists and turns, Never Saw Me Coming is a gripping caper that reminds never to underestimate a woman. How to Attend This event takes place on Zoom.

Author Jessica Bruder explores the phenomenon of older citizens who find it necessary to continue working in order to make ends meet. These seniors live in RVs and travel across the country in search of temp jobs. Bruder spent three years and 15,000 miles to work alongside elder temps in a sugar beet-processing facility and an Amazon fulfillment warehouse. She explains various reasons why "Workampers" face this harsh reality, including poor or no retirement planning, no pension or IRA funds, minimal social security benefits, if any, chronic illnesses with no medical insurance, and market crashes.--Library Journal Bruders book was turned into a 2021 Oscar awarding winning film.

On the morning of April 29,1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. The patrons and staff who had been cleared out of the building realized this was not the usual false alarm. As one fireman recounted later, "Once that first stack got going, it was Goodbye, Charlie." The fire was disastrous. Investigators descended on the scene, but over thirty years later, the mystery remains. Weaving her life-long love of books and reading with the fascinating history of libraries, award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Susan Orlean presents a mesmerizing and compelling story as only she can. With her signature wit, insight, compassion, and talent for deep research, she investigates the legendary Los Angeles Public Library fire to showcase the larger, crucial role that libraries play in our lives..

A chest binder is a tight fitting garment that compresses the chest, typically worn by trans masculine folks, nonbinary folks, drag performers, and also anyone who want to minimize the prominence of breast tissue. Sky also discusses how the desire for one of these gender affirming garments as a teen led them to create Rebirth Garments!Materials needed: PowernetSpandex Paper Pattern Weights (soup cans work) ScissorsBinder clips or pinsSewing machine with zig zag stitch or a serger Ruler Measuring tape (or nonstretch string and a ruler) Calculator (or you can do the math longhand)  This video is part of Radical Fit's mini-series on gender affirming garments:Gender affirming garments are clothing items meant to validate the userÕs gender identity and expression, specifically the identities of trans and gender non-conforming people. This includes items such as binders, gaff/tucking underwear, packing underwear, breast forms and more (full definitions linked below). Gender affirmative garments are important because they enable trans and gender non-conforming people to live authentically in their bodies, which supports better mental health (according to The Trevor Project, access to gender affirming clothing can reduce the likelihood of youth suicide attempts: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2020/?section=Supporting-Transgender-Nonbinary-Youth)We invite you to explore the following resources on the relationship between gender expression and clothing to learn more:Own-voices article: https://www.them.us/story/clothes-shopping-gender-nonconformingIn-depth definitions of gender affirming garments: http://www.phsa.ca/transcarebc/care-support/transitioning/bind-pack-tuck-padMaia KobabeÕs graphic novel memoir Gender QueerA note from Sky: Remember you donÕt have to wear any of these garments in order to be trans or nonbinary. You also donÕt have to experience dysphoria to be trans or nonbinary or to want to wear these garments! These garments should feel celebratory and exciting to wear!

No matter where youÕre from or how old you are, music is its own language we can all share.Each month the Bucktown Wicker-Park Branch will host an album discussion group where we will discuss albums from different eras or styles. One from our choosing listed below and also one from you: BYOA (Bring Your Own Album)! Listen to the album recommended and be prepared to tell us your favorite tracks and talk about the album as a whole. Then, we will leave time for anyone who would like to share an album with the group and tell us why itÕs your favorite! We can vote to have that be the album for the following month. Each album selected for discussion will most often be available on Hoopla.This month's voted album to discuss is: Mezzanine by Massive Attack. Available here on Hoopla and here on YouTube.Massive Attack are an English electronic band formed in 1988 in Bristol. The Mezzanine album is featured in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. "Some of their most noted songs have featured dramatically atmospheric dynamics, conveyed through either distorted guitar crescendos, lavish orchestral arrangements or prominent, looped/shifting basslines, underpinned by high and exacting production values, involving sometimes copious digital editing and mixing. This style formed a much-emulated style journalists began to dub "trip hop" from the mid-nineties onwards."How to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

In this talk, weÕll take a tour of the magnificent images and scientific results that this unrivaled piece of technology has already produced. Our speaker is Dr. Michael Zevin, a theoretical astrophysicist and a NASA Hubble Fellow at the University of Chicago. His research revolves around investigating the lives and deaths of stars using observations of gravitational waves --- ripples in the fabric of spacetime that emanate from extreme systems in the universe such as merging black holes and neutron stars. He is part of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, which made the first observation of gravitational waves in September 2015. Michael is also passionate about science education and public outreach and getting members of the general public interested and engaged in scientific advancements through participation in citizen science.

Through a series of hands-on studio projects, teens practice drawing, painting, and mixed media skills. For inspiration, students get to visit Chicago artist studios and gallery exhibits. They also take their skills and inspiration out in the community to create art that brings the community together and makes a meaningful impact. In addition to creating community, teens gain hands on experience facing an entrenched problem within a community, and learn first hand that change is possible. In a respectful and nurturing environment, they put their research and new skills to work to develop creative strategies to face challenges.After School MattersMusic & Art151422workshop2021-03-09T00:00:002021-05-27T00:00:00FreefalseNot PaidfalsefalseonlinetruefalseProgram144988Learn American Sign LanguageWant to learn or brush up on your American Sign Language skills?

The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical, but after running away from their small, southern black community at the age of sixteen, their lives grew apart as adults. Ten years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Weaving together multiple generations of this family from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces an emotional family story and a riveting exploration of the American history of passing.

She's tasked with saving her Tita Rosie's failing restaurant, and she has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case.With the cops treating her like she's the one and only suspect, and the shady landlord looking to finally kick the Macapagal family out and resell the storefront, Lila's left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her own neck on the chopping blockÉ"How to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

So much so, they regularly planned trips to come home on the same weekends, and outside of time spent with their family and dating, they enjoyed all their summers together as well."

Raised in Pennsylvania, Thandi views the world of her mother's childhood in Johannesburg as both impossibly distant and ever present. She is an outsider wherever she goes, caught between being black and white, American and not. She tries to connect these dislocated pieces of her life, and as her mother succumbs to cancer, Thandi searches for an anchor-someone, or something, to love. In arresting and unsettling prose, we watch Thandi's life unfold, from losing her mother and learning to live without the person who has most profoundly shaped her existence, to her own encounters with romance and unexpected motherhood. Through exquisite and emotional vignettes, Clemmons creates a stunning portrayal of what it means to choose to live, after loss. How to Attend This event takes place on Zoom.

Fieseler. On June 24, 1973, a fire at New Orleans' Up Stairs Lounge, a popular haunt for members of the LGBT community, claimed the lives of thirty-two people. Investigation revealed that the fire was set by an arsonist; this event would become the largest mass-murder of gay people in United States history until another unimaginable tragedy struck the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando in 2016. Fieseler's chronicle reveals a web of discriminatory circumstances and obstruction in the fire's aftermath as the event became a flashpoint for the nascent gay rights movement.Copies of the book are available at Chicago Lawn Branch Library (while supplies last).

Copies of the book are available at the front circulation desk.The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since.Timothy EganÕs critically acclaimed account rescues this iconic chapter of American history from the shadows in a tour de force of historical reportage. Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, Egan does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes, Òthe stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgency and respectÓ (New York Times).In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst Hard Time is Òarguably the best nonfiction book yetÓ (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of trifling with nature.This book discussion is held in partnership with the PBS show American Experience.

The novel follows Luz, a tea-leaf reader who is suddenly responsible for helping her aunt make rent when her brother is run out of town. She gets a job and finds herself in a love triangle between a musician and her older boss. Throughout the novel there are brief chapters detailing the life of Luz's grandmother as a Mexican gunslinger who accidentally shot her first husband when she was attacked by the dancing bear. She then opens a new theatre with Luz's grandfather in the Lost Territory, indigenous land that is slowly being infiltrated by prospectors. But the chapters recounting the story of Luz's grandparents are few and far between, and initially it's unclear how these characters are related to Luz. How to Attend This event takes place on Zoom.

Books are available on 2nd FL."The names of notorious serial killers are usually well-known; they echo in the news and in public consciousness. But most people have never heard of Israel Keyes, one of the most ambitious and terrifying serial killers in modern history. The FBI considered his behavior unprecedented ... He buried 'kill kits'--cash, weapons, and body-disposal tools--in remote locations across the country. Over the course of fourteen years, Keyes would fly to a city, rent a car, and drive thousands of miles in order to use his kits. He would break into a stranger's house, abduct his victims in broad daylight, and kill and dispose of them in mere hours. And then he would return home to Alaska, resuming life as a quiet, reliable construction worker devoted to his only daughter. When journalist Maureen Callahan first heard about Israel Keyes in 2012, she was captivated by how a killer of this magnitude could go undetected by law enforcement for over a decade. And so began a project that consumed her for the next several years--uncovering the true story behind how the FBI ultimately caught Israel Keyes, and trying to understand what it means for a killer like Keyes to exist."How to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

"This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn't always see me. As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. We are forced to reinvent them to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So, I wrote this for anyone running through life untethered, desperate and clawing their way through murky memories, trying to get to some form of self-love." -VIOLA DAVISHow to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

Before coming to Axios in 2021, she worked at WBEZ, the Sun Times and the Chicago Tribune where she spent 16 years editing and reporting on food, culture and health. Monica has won multiple writing awards and been nominated for the James Beard Award five times. Monica is a fourth generation Chicagoan whose great grandfather came to Chicago from China in 1911. Her children are fourth generation Chicago Public School graduates.This program is made possible thanks to generous support from the Chicago Public Library Foundation.

We invite you to listen to eleven of these - Sakura Tales; Stories from Japan - in an hour long program for teens and adults hosted by the Asian American and Pacific Islander Committee. Sakura is the Japanese word for cherry blossom.Folk tales are often forgotten as we grow older. Revisiting and remembering them is a gateway to novel and more enriching experiences and is a beautiful way to commemorate and rekindle the past. By telling the Sakura Tales, Shimojima can feel the connection to her great-grandparents' silkworm farm in Nagano-ken, and she honors the memory of her immigrant grandparents, whose spirit of gaman (perseverance) helped them survive life in a new land. Anne became a professional storyteller in 1982. She taught graduate courses in storytelling for National-Louis University and for eight years served on the board of the Wild Onion Storytelling Festival in Chicago. She is a member of the National Storytelling Network, the Northlands Storytelling Network, and Illinois Storytelling, Inc.How to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

Richard doesn't have a past. For him, there is only the present: a new marriage, a first chance at fatherhood, and a quiet life as an art teacher in Virginia. Then the body of a ritualistically murdered rabbit appears on his school's playground, along with a birthday card for him. But Richard hasn't celebrated his birthday since he was known as Sean... In the 1980s, Sean was five years old when his mother asked him if his favorite teacher had ever been inappropriate with him. In the course of one conversation, Sean was led to tell a lie. When school administrators, cops, and therapists questioned him, he told another. And another. And another. Each fueled the fire of a moral panic that engulfed the nation―and destroyed the lives of everyone around him. Now, thirty years later, someone is here to tell Richard that they know what Sean did. But who would even know that these two are one and the same? How to Attend This event takes place online. Register at least 24 hours before the event. Only one registration per household is needed.

During the summer months, Collegiate Scholars take courses in humanities, social sciences, and mathematics taught by University of Chicago faculty on the University of Chicago campus. Throughout the academic year, Scholars engage in a series of enrichment activities focused on leadership development, civic engagement, college advising, and cultural exploration. When Offered in 2021: The CSP admissions and recruitment process for the Class of 2024 is postponed until the 2021-2022 academic year and, although this update may be disappointing to current 9th grade students, we hope they will consider applying to CSP next year. In Fall 2021 and Winter 2022, the Collegiate Scholars Program will resume the recruitment process for both 9th and 10th grade students with the objective of admitting two cohorts of Collegiate Scholars by spring 2022.University of Chicago (UChicago)Learning As A Lifestyle01516workshop2021-01-01T00:00:002023-01-01T00:00:00Abel Ochoa773.834.5833FreefalseNot PaidfalsefalseonlinefalsefalseResource190389Homework Help: Virtual Teacher in the LibraryGet homework help from a certified teacher and learn about library resources with our expert librarians.

This includes items such as binders, gaff/tucking underwear, packing underwear, breast forms and more (full definitions linked below). Gender affirmative garments are important because they enable trans and gender non-conforming people to live authentically in their bodies, which supports better mental health (according to The Trevor Project, access to gender affirming clothing can reduce the likelihood of youth suicide attempts: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/survey-2020/?section=Supporting-Transgender-Nonbinary-Youth)We invite you to explore the following resources on the relationship between gender expression and clothing to learn more:Own-voices article: https://www.them.us/story/clothes-shopping-gender-nonconformingIn-depth definitions of gender affirming garments: http://www.phsa.ca/transcarebc/care-support/transitioning/bind-pack-tuck-padMaia KobabeÕs graphic novel memoir Gender QueerA note from Sky: Remember you donÕt have to wear any of these garments in order to be trans or nonbinary. You also donÕt have to experience dysphoria to be trans or nonbinary or to want to wear these garments! These garments should feel celebratory and exciting to wear!

The first program, Saturday College, was implemented in January 1980 and has since been the model from which all other programs have been developed. As an affiliate of the UIC Urban Health Program Ð the leading force for increasing minorities within the field of health professions and health-sciences Ð we strive to motivate and inform students about the persistent health disparities in minority populations and each studentÕs role in effecting change. The academic enrichment programs we coordinate have one of the universityÕs largest summer and academic year enrollments with more than 300 students in grades K-12 and nearly 70% of EOP academic year and summer programs students coming from Chicago Public Schools. The programÕs ultimate goal is to maximize our studentsÕ ability to matriculate into high school, higher education, and postgraduate health-science programs of their choice and to further enable them to earn careers as knowledgeable healthcare professionals, teacher educators, and policy makers capable of growing our global society.UICLearning As A Lifestyle0518workshop2021-01-01T00:00:002023-01-01T00:00:00joyv@uic.eduFreefalseNot PaidfalsefalseonlinefalsefalseResource120338Grown(ish) Club: From Teen to AdultingWant to have conversations about life that they donÕt always teach in school?

Throughout the past two decades the Center has expanded its programs to include more USMLE support for medical students, new research opportunities for undergraduates and further outreach to include high school students contemplating a career in the medical profession. Programs have expanded due to necessity resulting from student demand as well as having benefited from several research grants. The most recent grant awarded was from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Through this five-year grant, the Hispanic Center of Excellence was able to offer the Latino Health and Science Enrichment Program (LaHSEP) which consisted of three tracks which were: 1) ACT prep for highs school freshmen and sophomores, 2) introduction to Research for high school juniors and seniors, and finally 3) advance courses in Chemistry, English and Math for UIC incoming freshmen. Furthermore, the grant increased the number of spots open for undergraduate and medical students partaking in research.

She will read passages from her work Dear God. Dear Bones. Dear YellowWhat is political poetry and linguistic activism? What does it mean to bear witness through writing? When language proves insufficient, how do we find and articulate a pathway forward? Dear God. Dear Bones. Dear Yellow. interrogates, subverts, and expands these questions through poems that are formally and lyrically complex, dynamic, and innovative. With rich intertextuality and an unwavering eye, Noor Hindi explores and interrogates colonialism, religion, patriarchy, and the complex intersections of her identity. Featuring her widely circulated poem, ÒFuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying,Ó this book is an incomparable force of fury and precision from a powerful and unstoppable poet. Noor HindiÕs collection is ultimately a provocation: on trauma, on art, and on what it takes to truly see the world for what it is/isnÕt and change it for the better.This program is made possible thanks to generous support from the Chicago Public Library Foundation.

Sisters Rose Tillman and Marvina Nash haven't spoken in decades - not since Rose sent Marvina $40 to register their business and Marvina spent it on something else. Rose never forgave Marvina for that $40 betrayal, but when she retires, she's still dreaming of opening a restaurant with her sister, using mama's secret spice mix to make their fortune in fried chicken and Southern comfort food. To her horror, Rose realizes she's forgotten the spice mix recipe. There's nothing to do but get in her car to drive the two hours to Marvina's house back in Fork City, Texas. Marvina's determined never to speak to Rose again, but figures she'll meet her on the doorstep to hear what she has to say, before closing the door in her face. Want to find out what happens next?

Copies of the book are available in the Popular Library at the Harold Washington Library Center.ÒGenteel society ladies who compare notes on their husbands' suicides. A hilariously foul-mouthed black drag queen. A voodoo priestess who works her roots in the graveyard at midnight. A prominent antiques dealer who hangs a Nazi flag from his window to disrupt the shooting of a movie. And a redneck gigolo whose conquests describe him as a 'walking streak of sex'. These are some of the real residents of Savannah, Georgia, a city whose eccentric mores are unerringly observed, and whose dirty linen is gleefully aired--in this utterly irresistible book. At once a true-crime murder story and a hugely entertaining and deliciously perverse travelogue, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is as bracing and intoxicating as half-a-dozen mint juleps.Ó- from the publisher, Vintage BooksHow to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

This presentation will help explain the different kinds of support available and how to access care when needed. Learn about palliative care and how it can help at any stage of a serious illness. Learn about wholistic hospice care for those facing end-of-life, even when cures fail, there is still much that can be done to support patients and their families. You donÕt have to face a serious illness alone!Outcomes: Participants will learn about palliative care and hospice care, and how these services can help those experiencing a serious illness. We will explain palliative care and hospice care, what they have in common, as well as how they are different. Participants will be informed on the benefits of care, eligibility, insurance coverage, and how to access care.

At the end of the month, we will meet on Zoom to discuss the book and any interesting beverages you tried. Feel free to join the discussion BYOB-style.Maus, a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel, is a brutally moving work of art - widely hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever written. It recounts the chilling experiences of the author's father during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats. It is an unforgettable story of survival and a disarming look at the legacy of trauma.Over the years, Spiegelman and Maus have won several prestigious awards. Most notably, in 1992, Art Spiegelman won the Pulitzer Prize for this masterful Holocaust narrative. In 2005, Art Spiegelman was named one of Time MagazineÕs 100 Most Influential People. In 2009, Maus was chosen by the Young Adult Library Association as one of its recommended titles for all students. In 2020, the New York Public Library voted Maus one of the 125 most important books of the last 125 years.This event is hosted by Jacob from the Richard M.

Jungle is a cutting-edge travel agency specializing in tourism to destinations devastated by disaster and climate change. And until she found herself at the mercy of a predatory colleague, Yona was one of their top representatives. Now on the verge of losing her job, she's given a proposition: take a paid "vacation" to the desert island of Mui and pose as a tourist to assess the company's least profitable holiday. When she uncovers a plan to fabricate an extravagant catastrophe, she must choose: prioritize the callous company to whom she's dedicated her life, or embrace a fresh start in a powerful new position? An eco-thriller with a fierce feminist sensibility, The Disaster Tourist introduces a fresh new voice to the United States that engages with the global dialogue around climate activism, dark tourism, and the #MeToo movement.How to AttendThis event takes place on Zoom.

And here they are: twenty-five new fairy tales for readers of all ages by a master fabulist and poet, accompanied by an equal number of original illustrations by a captivating artist, Emma Polyakov. These tales possess such alluring titles as The Fox and the Other Side, The PriestÕs Peculiar Wife, The Boy in the Camel, The LeperÕs Touch, and The Rainbow. They employ suitably beguiling entities as well: spectral foxes, a telepathic ape and antelope, shadows that speak, an odd djinn, a puzzled king, an umbrella-loving serpent, protean elves, and other visions of the ultimate reality just beyond sight." - from the publisher, McPherson & Co.

Lincoln Fenn. When Fiona Quinn is approached in a bar by a man who calls himself Scratch and claims he's the devil, she figures it's just some kind of post-modern ironic pickup line. But since he offers to pick up the tab, what the hell. A few drinks in, Scratch offers something much stranger--a wish in exchange for her immortal soul. Fiona has been wondering if her boyfriend is having an affair. What if she could become invisible, see what he's really up to? It can be done, but for a price--in addition to her soul, Fiona must perform a special favor for Scratch whenever the time comes. Fiona finds the whole thing so hilarious that she agrees. Bad idea. Not only does Fiona soon discover that she really was talking to the devil incarnate, but she's now been initiated into a bizarre support group of similar "dead souls"--those who have exchanged their immortal spirits on a whim, and must spend their waking hours in absolute terror of that favor eventually being called in...and what exactly is required from each of them in order to give the devil his due.
