Memory (Memoir + History) Book Club

Curious? Always learning? Love hearing human stories? The new Memory (Memoir + History) Book Club is for you!

Join us as we delve into the broad and weird world of nonfiction through selected memoirs and historical books. Every 3rd Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:30pm, we will dive into a nonfiction book, from the smoke- and curse-filled kitchens of the 90s in Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential to the illustrated and intimate immigration story of Thi Bui's The Best We Could Do.

In June, we will read the extraordinary story of an unjustly forgotten group of Black men in Pittsburgh who became the first paramedics in America. American Sirens: The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America's First Paramedics, written by journalist and paramedic Kevin Hazzard, follows a rich cast of characters who forged a new frontier of healthcare in the 1970s.

This event occurs after the library is closed so please park in the front lot and use front doors—they will be locked but Cameron will be inside to let you in.

Copies are available for you at Cooper-Siegel's Front Desk (or try an eBook for your Kindle or iPad)! The audiobook version is also available on Libby.
