When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive\, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff\, his deputy\, the coroner\, and a string of racist White townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle\, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till.\n\nThe detectives suspect that these are killings of retribution\, but soon discover that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country. Something truly strange is afoot. As the bodies pile up\, the MBI detectives seek answers from a local root doctor who has been documenting every lynching in the country for years\, uncovering a history that refuses to be buried. In this bold\, provocative book\, Everett takes direct aim at racism and police violence\, and does so in a fast-paced style that ensures the reader can’t look away. The Trees is an enormously powerful novel of lasting importance from an author with his finger on America’s pulse. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Catalog \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-34/ LOCATION:CLP – Mt.

The act of possessing black skin while searching for space to breathe in America is enough to induce a ceaseless state of angst where questions such as “How should I react here\, as a professional black person” and “Will this white person’s potato salad kill me” are forever relevant.\n\nWhat Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker chronicles Young’s efforts to survive while battling and making sense of the various neuroses his country has given him. \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 \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/three-rivers-readers-book-club-6/ LOCATION:CLP – Downtown\, 612 Smithfield Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15222\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/what-doesnt-kill-you-makes-you-blacker-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4417491;-79.9971122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Downtown 612 Smithfield Street Pittsburgh PA 15222 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=612 Smithfield Street:geo:-79.9971122,40.4417491 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270210T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270210T150000 DTSTAMP:20261110T173817Z CREATED:20261016T192906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261110T173817Z UID:10008857-1802268000-1802271600@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club - Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed. \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 Mumbo Jumbo\n Ishmael Reed \n \n\n It is the 1920s in New York City and an epidemic known as Jes Grew is sweeping the nation–a dancing plague\, irresistible\, joyful\, and undeniably Black. Naturally\, the powers-that-be are having none of it. A repressive conspiracy is operating in the shadows\, and it is dead set on squelching Jes Grew and its Carriers–Black artists and musicians–by any means necessary.\n\nSo begins the classic novel by Ishmael Reed\, the iconic satirist whose contributions to American literature have drawn praise from the likes of James Baldwin and Harold Bloom. Mumbo Jumbo is an ingenious deconstruction of Western civilization–a cinematic collage that mixes portraits of historical figures and incidents with sound bites on subjects ranging from ragtime to Greek philosophy. Now with a new introduction by the author\, this timeless and crucial work of twentieth-century fiction is ready to be discovered by a new generation of readers. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-mumbo-jumbo-by-ishmael-reed/ LOCATION:CLP – Sheraden\, 720 Sherwood Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15204\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/mumbo-jumbo-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4552007;-80.0565352 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Sheraden 720 Sherwood Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15204 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=720 Sherwood Avenue:geo:-80.0565352,40.4552007 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270211T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270211T120000 DTSTAMP:20261023T131232Z CREATED:20261023T130935Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261023T131232Z UID:10009227-1802343600-1802347200@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Digital Skills: Computer and Phone Help Drop-In  DESCRIPTION:Drop in to learn how to use your tablet\, iPad\, smartphone\, laptop\, computer or other devices.

This month will feature Every Nation Has Its Dish: Black Bodies & Black Food In Twentieth-Century America. \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 Every Nation Has Its Dish\n Black Bodies & Black Food in Twentieth-century America\n Jennifer Jensen Wallach \n \n\n Jennifer Jensen Wallach’s nuanced history of black foodways across the twentieth century challenges traditional narratives of “soul food” as a singular style of historical African American cuisine. Wallach investigates the experiences and diverse convictions of several generations of African American activists\, ranging from Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois to Mary Church Terrell\, Elijah Muhammad\, and Dick Gregory. While differing widely in their approaches to diet and eating\, they uniformly made the cultivation of “proper” food habits a significant dimension of their work and their conceptions of racial and national belonging. Tracing their quests for literal sustenance brings together the race\, food\, and intellectual histories of America. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/cookbook-club-the-food-axis-cooking-eating-and-the-architecture-of-american-houses-3/ LOCATION:CLP – Downtown\, 612 Smithfield Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15222\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/every-nation-has-its-dish-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4417491;-79.9971122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Downtown 612 Smithfield Street Pittsburgh PA 15222 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=612 Smithfield Street:geo:-79.9971122,40.4417491 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270213T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270213T160000 DTSTAMP:20261020T193024Z CREATED:20261020T193022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261020T193024Z UID:10009135-1802527200-1802534400@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Community Scan Day DESCRIPTION:Staff will teach you how to use a portable scanner to digitize your old photographs\, documents\, slides\, and more! \nScan your old photographs\, documents\, slides\, and more for free at Community Scan Day!
