WAITING IN THE WINGS: PHOTOGRAPHY
6:30 PM

Presented by Anita Buzzy-Prentiss

Waiting in the Wings is a book of photos by Anita Buzzy Prentiss and quotes of professional dancers from Pittsburgh during the COVID-19 pandemic. This book invites us to understand what it must have been like to be a dancer forced off stage and away from doing the thing they most love. The photos show strength, grace and the soaring beauty of these dancers, and their insightful quotes give us a chance for us to think about how the pandemic may have taken away our own joy in some ways (but may have given us a new appreciation of our lives as in other ways) as we make it through this strange COVID-19 time together.  A portion of this book’s proceeds funds positive mental health workshops for dancers (facilitated by Minding the Gap).

GIFT/DONATED MATERIALS
Materials donated to the library must meet the same standards as other materials for inclusion in the library's collection.  If a donated item is not added to the collection of BPPL, it may be given to another library, placed in the library's book sale or discarded.  The revenue from any item sold will be used to benefit the library.  All gifts are accepted with the understanding that someday it may be necessary to deselect the item(s).  The library cannot commit to perpetually housing a donation.

The third Wednesday of every month we will be hosting a Memory Café in the fireplace room from 10:30-12pm.  Originally started in England, this informal setting provides the caregiver a forum for discussion, reducing the isolation often felt by people with dementia, their caregivers and families.  Discussions can range from practical tips for coping with dementia, avoiding caregiver burnout or information about community resources. Coffee and conversation specifically for people with memory loss and their caregivers.
