November 21 - When the Stars Go Dark / Paula McClain (2021) Anna Hart is a seasoned missing persons detective in San Francisco. When tragedy strikes her personal life, she flees to the Northern California village of Mendocino to grieve. She lived there as a child with her beloved foster parents, and now she believes it might be the only place left for her. Yet the day she arrives, she learns that a local teenage girl has gone missing. The crime reminds Anna when the unsolved murder of a young girl touched Mendocino and changed the community forever. As past and present collide, Anna realizes that she has been led to this moment. The most difficult lessons of her life have given her insight into how victims come into contact with violent predators. As Anna becomes obsessed with saving the missing girl, she must accept that true courage means getting out of her own way and learning to let others in
December 19 - Ambulance Chaser / Brian Cuban Pittsburgh personal injury lawyer and part-time drug dealer Jason Feldman’s life goals are simple: date hot women, earn enough cash to score cocaine on a regular basis, and care for his dementia-ravaged father. That all changes when a long-lost childhood friend contacts him about the discovery of buried remains belonging to a high school classmate who went missing thirty years prior, and the fragile life Jason’s built over his troubled past is about to come crashing down. Soon, he’s on the run across Pittsburgh and beyond to find his old friend, while trying to figure out whom to trust among Ukrainian mobsters, vegan drug dealers, washed-up sports stars, an Israeli James Bond, and an ex-wife who happens to be the district attorney. The only way he’ll survive is if he overcomes his addictions so he can face his childhood demons.

Yoga professional Monette Shuttleworth, 200 E-RYT and 500 RYT, is classically Hatha-trained in the Himalayan Tradition and also holds a Level I Restorative Yoga Certification. She will guide us through this monthly Yin Yoga session providing background, support tips and answering any questions. We will meet on the 3rd Thursdays of every month. Register below for entire series (cancel registration only if canceling for whole series).
Yin Yoga is slow-paced and meditative in nature and serves to complement to more active yoga (Yang) styles. Yin Yoga emphasizes passive postures held for several minutes at a time, with muscles in a relaxed state. The connective tissue in and around the muscles and joints is targeted. Ultimately, Yin Yoga promotes the vitality, hydration, mobility and strength of the connective tissue. It also enhances a balanced flow of energetic circulation leading to a state of calmness, contentment and an overall lasting feeling of relaxation. Please bring a yoga mat, a pillow, and beach towel to support your practice. Registration required to get Zoom link. Registration is for the entire series and you need not cancel unless you are cancelling for the whole series.
Virtual Yin Yoga will be conducted via the free video conferencing software Zoom and a Library staff member will be supervising the session. The Librarian coordinating the event will email each registrant a Zoom meeting invitation before the start of the program. Zoom is available as a free desktop (for Windows, MacOS, and Linux Operating systems) and mobile application for Android and Apple iOS devices. Once Zoom is installed, you will be able to join the virtual Library program.
Registration is required. By registering for this event you have agreed to comply with the library's patron behavior policy. All non-compliant participants will be immediately and permanently blocked from further participation. Because the Librarian facilitating the event will not be able to provide live technical support during the virtual program, it is strongly encouraged you familiarize yourself with Zoom in advance of the program. You can also contact the Library’s Virtual Reference Service for assistance learning Zoom. You can also join a test meeting to familiarize yourself with Zoom. For more in-depth instructions please visit the Zoom support page on joining a meeting.

Reiki is a useful and ancient tool for wellness. It is the enhancement and rebalancing of energies, with "rei" meaning spiritual wisdom and "ki" meaning life force energy. Join us for an overview of what reiki is/is not, where it fits into wellness, and bring your reiki questions to be answered.
Following presentation, two reiki practitioners will provide complementary reiki to those wishing to receive it. During the reiki, soft, calming music will be played. Reiki practioners are certified and attuned in the Usui method. Combination of Level II and Masters.
Reiki is non-contact. Participants will sit in a circle and practitioners will move behind each person individually. Those wishing to observe and not participate are welcomed to do so.
All ages welcome!
