Carl's Story*
Noretta Willig, author of Carl's Story, will be here to tell the powerful story of her uncle. Killed in battle during WWI, Carl Willig’s remains were lost. Then nearly ninety years later, a genealogist contacted Noretta to identify her as Carl’s next of kin and suggest that “probably they found something.” Through photographs and letters, Noretta learned not only about her own family, but about the American military’s commitment to leave no soldier behind.
About the author: After several years as a journalist, Noretta Willig obtained a master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh and taught American and English literature. In retirement, she has traveled throughout the U.S. and many countries, including to the battlefield in France where her uncle fought and died.

The Teacher- Drama from Slovakia (103 min)
Czechoslovakia 1983. On the first day of class the new teacher, Ms. Drazdecova welcomes the students. When she calls out their name, they respond by saying they’re here, and what their parents do for a living. The teacher is also a high ranking member of the Communist Party. It soon becomes obvious that the kids grades are tied to how well the parents and students do their “extra” jobs. When some parents decide not to participate, their kids grades fall. These parents take this up with the principal. When a meeting is held and everything is brought to the attention of all the parents. Will they vote the teacher out of school, or are they scared of her?

Journey from the Attic*
Learn to tap into your family's past! Pamela Israel from Unlock Your History will talk about how to make sense of some of the family heirloom documents that are often passed down across generations but are frequently not in English. She will also dig a little deeper into the #1-claimed heritage in the US, German, and recommend when to look into getting help with these documents.
About the presenter: Surrounded by genealogy from a young age, Pamela has long appreciated the richness that learning about your heritage and ancestors can bring. Leveraging her own family stories (and heirlooms), Pam launched Unlock Your History to help people translate their heirloom family documents from German and Germanic languages.
Registration is required for this adult program and will begin on April 15th. You may register online, in person at the adult reference desk or by calling 412-366-8100, extension 113.

Call Me By Your Name- Drama from Italy (132 min)
It’s the summer of 1983, Elio and his family are spending time at their villa in Northern Italy. Elio enjoys a cultured life. His father teaches Greco-Roman culture, his mother is a translator, and he transcribes and plays music for the cello. When not doing that he flirts with his friend Marzia. When Oliver, his father’s intern, arrives to work on his doctorate, things change. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of the setting, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever. Beautifully shot and well acted, this movie has received 4 Oscar nominations. The film has also won 62 awards and nominated for 134 more.
So come join us. No reservation required. Refreshments will be served.

Wise Walk*
Walking may be the simplest way to work out. Your heart will get exercise, you’ll lower your blood pressure, and you bones will get stronger. Walking also eases stress and can boost your outlook on life. Northland Library will offer another 10-week Wise Walk program beginning on Tuesday, April 17.
For the remaining nine weeks, the group will meet each Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. directly at Pie Traynor Field to walk together and enjoy the spring weather. Water and snacks will be provided each week. All are welcome!

If you are enticed by such areas of inquiry and are interested in “alternative” ways, rather than conventional ways, of looking at the world, you may be interested in joining our newest book discussion group. The facilitator will be Richard Kajuth, former educational consultant and lifelong student of esoteric inquiry and Eastern philosophy.

Homeschool Meetup - Savvy Cinderella...an amazing storytelling experience!
The Savvy Cinderella Storytellers invite girls in 2nd thru 5th grade to experience an amazing storytelling adventure at the library. The heroes in popular fairy tales kill dragons, rescue princesses and outwit giants. As for the heroines… they wait patiently for a prince, get eaten by wolves, have wicked stepmothers and fall asleep. They are beautiful, sweet and helpless. Led by a master storyteller, students will meet fairy tale heroines who are brave, clever, caring and resilient. Students will have fun performing tales with their classmates and earn a fairy wand.
“I was thoroughly impressed! I liked how each story led into great lessons about bullying, self-image, bravery, etc. The girls seemed completely engaged and really enjoyed themselves.” Director, Carnegie Library of McKeesport
“Being a Savvy Cinderella has given my daughter confidence and fostered a love of literature. “ Parent

Homeschool Meetup - Savvy Cinderella...an amazing storytelling experience!
The Savvy Cinderella Storytellers invite girls in 2nd thru 5th grade to experience an amazing storytelling adventure at the library. The heroes in popular fairy tales kill dragons, rescue princesses and outwit giants. As for the heroines… they wait patiently for a prince, get eaten by wolves, have wicked stepmothers and fall asleep. They are beautiful, sweet and helpless. Led by a master storyteller, students will meet fairy tale heroines who are brave, clever, caring and resilient. Students will have fun performing tales with their classmates and earn a fairy wand.
“I was thoroughly impressed! I liked how each story led into great lessons about bullying, self-image, bravery, etc. The girls seemed completely engaged and really enjoyed themselves.” Director, Carnegie Library of McKeesport
“Being a Savvy Cinderella has given my daughter confidence and fostered a love of literature. “ Parent

A reading and discussion.

If you are enticed by such areas of inquiry and are interested in “alternative” ways, rather than conventional ways, of looking at the world, you may be interested in joining our newest book discussion group. The facilitator will be Richard Kajuth, former educational consultant and lifelong student of esoteric inquiry and Eastern philosophy.
