Selected for one of the last space station missions of its kind before the program is dismantled\, these astronauts and cosmonauts–from America\, Russia\, Italy\, Britain\, and Japan–have left their lives behind to travel at a speed of over seventeen thousand miles an hour as the earth reels below. We glimpse moments of their earthly lives through brief communications with family\, their photos and talismans; we watch them whip up dehydrated meals\, float in gravity-free sleep\, and exercise in regimented routines to prevent atrophying muscles; we witness them form bonds that will stand between them and utter solitude. Most of all\, we are with them as they behold and record their silent blue planet. Their experiences of sixteen sunrises and sunsets and the bright\, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at once breathtakingly awesome and surprisingly intimate. So are the marks of civilization far below\, encrusted on the planet on which we live. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n eAudio URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-35/ LOCATION:CLP – Lawrenceville\, 279 Fisk Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15201\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/orbital-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.467605;-79.959082 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Lawrenceville 279 Fisk Street Pittsburgh PA 15201 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=279 Fisk Street:geo:-79.959082,40.467605 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261218T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261218T113000 DTSTAMP:20261106T195540Z CREATED:20261013T160011Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261106T195540Z UID:10008267-1797589800-1797593400@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Friday Edition Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on Dashing Through the Snow by Mary Higgins Clark .\nThis title is available for checkout in our Catalog\,.\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Dashing Through the Snow\n Mary Higgins Clark \n \n\n In the picturesque village of Branscombe\, New Hampshire\, the townsfolk are preparing for the annual Festival of Joy.

Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties—successful\, competent\, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death\, he’s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women—his enduring first love\, Sylvia\, and Naomi\, a college student for whom life is one long joke. Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward\, a loner\, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now\, in the early weeks of his bereavement\, Ivan meets Margaret\, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past\, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined. For two grieving brothers and the people they love\, this is a new interlude—a period of desire\, despair\, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Catalog \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n e-Audio URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-32/ LOCATION:CLP – Mt.

Bird knows to not ask too many questions\, stand out too much\, or stray too far. For a decade\, their lives have been governed by laws written to preserve ‘American culture’ in the wake of years of economic instability and violence. To keep the peace and restore prosperity\, the authorities are now allowed to relocate children of dissidents\, especially those of Asian origin\, and libraries have been forced to remove books seen as unpatriotic–including the work of Bird’s mother\, Margaret\, a Chinese American poet who left the family when he was nine years old. Bird has grown up disavowing his mother and her poems; he doesn’t know her work or what happened to her\, and he knows he shouldn’t wonder. But when he receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing\, he is drawn into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child\, through the ranks of an underground network of librarians\, into the lives of the children who have been taken\, and finally to New York City\, where a new act of defiance may be the beginning of much-needed change. Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new\, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It’s a story about the power–and limitations–of art to create change\, the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children\, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-our-missing-hearts-by-celeste-ng/ LOCATION:CLP – Squirrel Hill\, 5801 Forbes Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15217\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/our-missing-hearts-1080x600-1.jpeg GEO:40.4384436;-79.9227127 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Squirrel Hill 5801 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15217 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=5801 Forbes Avenue:geo:-79.9227127,40.4384436 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T130000 DTSTAMP:20261106T210318Z CREATED:20261006T192859Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261106T210318Z UID:10007864-1799928000-1799931600@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo.\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Behind the Beautiful Forevers\n Katherine Boo \n \n\n In this breathtaking book by Pulitzer Prize winner Katherine Boo\, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is made human through the dramatic story of families striving toward a better life in Annawadi\, a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport.\n\nAs India starts to prosper\, the residents of Annawadi are electric with hope. Abdul\, an enterprising teenager\, sees “a fortune beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Meanwhile Asha\, a woman of formidable ambition\, has identified a shadier route to the middle class. With a little luck\, her beautiful daughter\, Annawadi’s “most-everything girl\,” might become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest children\, like the young thief Kalu\, feel themselves inching closer to their dreams. But then Abdul is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion\, caste\, sex\, power\, and economic envy turn brutal.\n\nWith intelligence\, humor\, and deep insight into what connects people to one another in an era of tumultuous change\, Behind the Beautiful Forevers\, based on years of uncompromising reporting\, carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds–and into the hearts of families impossible to forget. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n Audiobook \n \n \n \n Large Print \n \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-6/ LOCATION:CLP – West End\, 47 Wabash St\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15220\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club,Social Gatherings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/behind-the-beautiful-forevers-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4400574;-80.034045 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – West End 47 Wabash St Pittsburgh PA 15220 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=47 Wabash St:geo:-80.034045,40.4400574 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
