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 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T183000 DTSTAMP:20261109T175158Z CREATED:20261019T142440Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261109T175158Z UID:10008908-1799947800-1799951400@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Page Turners Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on John of John by Douglas Stuart.

Cal privately wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home\, while John is dismayed by his son’s long hair\, strange clothes\, and seeming unwillingness to be Saved. But Cal isn’t the only one in the croft house who is keeping secrets.

In the computer models she uses to study climate change\, it’s easy to simulate rising temperatures\, catastrophic outcomes\, and bleak futures. But climate change isn’t just happening in those models. It’s happening here\, to the only good planet in the universe. It’s happening to us. And she has feelings about that. Human Nature is a deeply felt inquiry into our rapidly changing Earth. In each chapter\, Marvel uses a different emotion to explore the science and stories behind climate change. As expected\, there is anger\, fear\, and grief–but also wonder\, hope\, and love. With her singular voice\, Marvel takes us on a soaring journey\, one filled with mythology\, physics\, witchcraft\, bad movies\, volcanoes\, Roman emperors\, sequoia groves\, and the many small miracles of nature we usually take for granted. \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 eAudio URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-47/ LOCATION:CLP – Allegheny\, 1230 Federal Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15212\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/human-nature-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4563927;-80.006615 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Allegheny 1230 Federal Street Pittsburgh PA 15212 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1230 Federal Street:geo:-80.006615,40.4563927 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270202T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270202T130000 DTSTAMP:20261109T204454Z CREATED:20261013T145807Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261109T204454Z UID:10008266-1801569600-1801573200@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Tuesday Deluxe Edition Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on The Reformatory by Tananarive Due.\nThis event is part of our Black History Month 2027 programming.\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 The Reformatory\n A Novel\n Tananarive Due \n \n\n A gripping\, page-turning novel set in Jim Crow Florida that follows Robert Stephens Jr. as he’s sent to a segregated reform school that is a chamber of terrors where he sees the horrors of racism and injustice\, for the living\, and the dead.\n\nThe Reformatory is a haunting work of historical fiction written as only American Book Award-winning author Tananarive Due could\, by piecing together the life of the relative her family never spoke of and bringing his tragedy and those of so many others at the infamous Dozier School for Boys to the light in this riveting novel. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Other Formats\n \n \n \n Audiobook \n \n \n \n Large Print \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/tuesday-deluxe-edition-book-club-8/ LOCATION:CLP – Woods Run\, 1201 Woods Run Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15212\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club,Social Gatherings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/the-reformatory-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.476239;-80.0302122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Woods Run 1201 Woods Run Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15212 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1201 Woods Run Avenue:geo:-80.0302122,40.476239 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
