The skills they learn such as public speaking, research, teamwork, critical thinking, writing/presenting, and so much more can be applied to their schoolwork and carried with them as they eventually enter the workforce.

Participating students will earn a final incentive as well as a branding package with logo themed table cloth, table top pull-up banner, t-shirt & hoodie, awarded upon full completion of the program.

He had long been known as a segregationist and populist, though he'd walked back his racist rhetoric prior to his run.

New details were uncovered about the shooting at Laurel Shopping Center after gaining access to the investigation files of the FBI and Prince George’s County Police Department.

Even if you’ve closely followed the media coverage of this event, you will be astonished at the new information. Presented by Kevin Leonard of the Laurel History Boys.

That's what Alice's grandmother says, and it's true. Alice spent just one summer at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen--it's where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life. Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she's most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately, though, she's been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry's Bay. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it. Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he's all grown up--a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice's soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart. Because Alice sees people--that's why she is so good at what she does--but she's never met someone who looks and sees her right back"

Together, we’ll swing through standards, blues, and classic big band repertoire—keeping the spirit of traditional jazz alive for a new generation.

One day, a cataclysmic event occurs: all of the white people in America walk into the nearest body of water. A year later, Charlie Brunton is a Black man living in an entirely new world. Having served his time in prison for a wrongful conviction, he’s now a professor of electric and solar power systems at Howard University when he receives a call from someone he wasn’t even sure existed: his daughter Sidney, a nineteen-year-old left behind by her white mother and step-family.
Traumatized by the event, and terrified of the outside world, Sidney has spent a year in isolation in Wisconsin. Desperate for help, she turns to the father she never met, a man she has always resented. Sidney and Charlie meet for the first time as they embark on a journey across a truly “post-racial” America in search for answers. But neither of them are prepared for this new world and how they see themselves in it.

The teens will ideate a business or product and prepare the business for launch!

Each week, the group will learn the fundamentals of business theory, how to build and maintain a sustainable business, and how to pitch their business to potential funders. The skills they learn such as public speaking, research, teamwork, critical thinking, writing/presenting, and so much more can be applied to their schoolwork and carried with them as they eventually enter the workforce.

Participating students will earn a final incentive as well as a branding package with logo themed table cloth, table top pull-up banner, t-shirt & hoodie, awarded upon full completion of the program.

Zauditu-Selassie at Light StreetThis writing workshop explores the concept of naming and narration - the two basic speech acts. Guided by the premise that one’s name is their first language, we will begin with the examination of the meaning of each participant’s name and unlock ways of narrating and crafting a story that presents that unique self.

Dr. K. Zauditu-Selassie is a retired Professor of English in the Humanities Department at Coppin State University. A 2009-2010 Fulbright Scholar at the University of Cocody in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, she has been a National Endowment for the Humanities Dissertation fellow, an NEH seminar and institute participant, a National Council for Black Studies fellow at the University of Ghana, Legon, a Fulbright-Hays fellow in Cairo, Egypt, a Fulbright-Hays seminar participant in the Republic of South Africa, a New York University Scholar-In Residence, a Mellon fellow at the Gorée Institute in Dakar, Senegal, and a Fulbright-Hays Scholar in the Republic of South Africa. Dr. Zauditu-Selassie has lived, studied, lectured, and traveled extensively throughout Africa, South America, and the Caribbean.

She is the author of “I Got a Home in Dat Rock: Memory, Orisa, and Yoruba Spiritual Identity in African American Literature” in Orisa: Yoruba Gods and Spiritual Identity in Africa and the Diaspora, as well as several journal articles including, “Step and Fetch It: Zora Neale Hurston’s Reclamation of African Ontology in Their Eyes Were Watching God,” “Women Who Know Things: African Epistemologies, Ecocriticism, and Female Spiritual Authority in the Novels of Toni Morrison,” and “Every Goodbye Ain’t Gone: Using Adinkra Symbols to Frame Critical Agenda in African Diasporic Literature.” She is also the author of a book of critical essays titled, African Spiritual Traditions in the Novels of Toni Morrison, a 2009 publication which won the Toni Morrison Society’s 2010 award for the best single-authored book. Her latest publications are anthologized in both volumes One and Two of The Fire Inside, an anthology edited by Victoria Kennedy, the founder of Zora’s Den, a Black Women’s Writing Collective. Her novel is titled The Second Line. Her forthcoming memoir is titled Caravan: The Amazing Adventures of a Negro Girl Straight out of Compton.

Registration required. Walk-ins will be accepted until we have reached capacity.

Pratt invites you to slow down and enjoy the magic of stories with us at Lit Out Loud, a program designed for adults to reconnect with the power of oral storytelling.

Whether you’re on your lunch break or looking for a quiet escape, join us as we slow down and simply listen to excerpts from short fiction, essays, and personal narratives that speak to everyday life, love, struggle, and joy.

No pressure — just stories shared aloud, the way they used to be.

Bring a friend, a blanket, a craft, or just yourself. Listening encouraged; discussion optional.

All abilities are welcome!

The program was originally scheduled for Saturday, June 6. **

Space for this program is limited; registration required.

Join us for a guided Nature Walk tailored to highlight aspects of Cylburn’s lovely grounds and gardens that invite you to slow down, look closely, and rediscover the textures that we may otherwise take for granted as part of our natural landscape. As we walk, we’ll practice mindful observation, noticing the tiny moments and patterns we usually pass by. The tour encourages a deeper awareness of our natural environment—while Cylburn’s Education Director and Pratt staff facilitate creative ideation through natural facts and friendly collaboration.

Participants will learn simple techniques for creating texture impressions. They will press clay onto surfaces to make temporary stamps and ink them to reveal small details, and create rubbings by placing paper over textured objects and burnishing with graphite, charcoal, or crayon. From tree bark and leaves to stone surfaces, moss, seed pods, footprints, and other often-overlooked surfaces, we’ll use these everyday materials to create lasting impressions of our natural landscape.

And be sure to join us in April as we kick off this creative journey in the Historic Mt. Vernon neighborhood, exploring the textures, patterns, and often overlooked details of urban in a companion program -- click here for more information. You do not need to attend the nature program to participate in the city program—everyone is welcome to join either or both experiences.

Note: This program includes a leisurely walk of roughly 1 mile, across varied terrain. Please be sure to wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and footwear. Participants will gather at the Nature Education Center, which is a 1-minute walk behind the Cylburn mansion.

All supplies and materials will be provided.

In August 1776, the Continental Army suffered a terrible defeat at the Battle of Brooklyn, the first major battle of the Revolutionary War. The battle nearly saw the complete destruction of the American army, but a desperate stand by a contingent of Maryland soldiers helped to stave off the British and allow the Americans to fight another day.

Join Owen Lourie, author of the newly published book, Finding the Maryland 400, which tells the story of these soldiers’ lives, released in time for the 250th anniversary of the battle. Learn more about these soldiers, now called the Maryland 400, and hear first-hand accounts of their actions at the battle. This talk will also discuss the lives of several soldiers from the unit, exploring them and their families during and after the Revolutionary War.

Owen Lourie is a senior archivist at the Maryland State Archives, specializing in Maryland government and military history during the colonial era and early republic. He holds an M.A. in history from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and a B.A. from Kenyon College in American Studies. He is the author of Finding the Maryland 400, a social history of the Maryland Line chronicling the soldiers of the Maryland 400 during the Revolutionary War.

ASL interpretation will be available for attendees.

Presented in partnership with The Maryland State Archives and The Maryland Four Centuries Project.

Based on Percival Everett’s novel Erasure, the film American Fiction brings Monk’s sharp, satirical journey to the screen with biting humor and deeply complicated family drama.

Join us to watch American Fiction and then discuss how both the film and Erasure skewer the expectations placed on Black stories, artists, and audiences.

Directed by Cord Jefferson. Starring Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, John Ortiz, Erika Alexander, Leslie Uggams, Issa Rae, and Sterling K. Brown.

When a doctor discovers pods containing creatures that can assume the physical appearance of anyone they choose, he attempts to destroy them. But by that point, the takeover is already well under way.

When you hear the name Junji Ito, it conjures up more than just one of the most well-known mangaka in the world today. It also brings forth art of terror, body horror, bizarre faces, the uncanny valley, and elder beings/situation/worlds. But who is the man BEHIND this?

This presentation explores Ito the man, the mangaka, and the fan himself- someone who took his passion and turned it into a career that has inspired countless others to pursue their own.

Pratt invites you to take part in our Community Zine Project. A project where participants co-create a zine that reflects the voices of our community and celebrates the art of storytelling as a vital part of our collective experience. Participants in this collaborative program each contribute single pages to a shared community zine.

Grounded in the idea of libraries as living spaces for stories—where memories, knowledge, and imagination are shared—this program invites participants to explore simple zine-making techniques — writing, drawing, and collage — creating a collective publication that reflects a wide range of voices, styles, and perspectives. This zine will become part of our institution’s special collections as part of the Paper Path Series.

All supplies and materials will be provided.

Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they're both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years-or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century. When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she'll choose the person who'll tell her story, there are three things keeping Alice's head in the game. One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice-and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over. Two: She's ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication. Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition. But the problem is, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they can't swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they're in the same room. And it's becoming abundantly clear that their story-just like the tale Margaret's spinning-could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad...depending on who's telling it"

Yoga is an ancient practice and lifestyle that encourages a healthy body, mind, and spirit. It enhances flexibility, strength, and internal harmony. In partnership with Golden Road Healing, Pratt Library is excited to bring patrons a unique yoga experience, that incorporates the power of sound healing, simple guided meditation, and movement to create an hour of mindfulness and restoration.

This gentle practice is open to all skill levels, where instructors will demonstrate various adaptations throughout the practice. This practice is focused primarily on participants feeling fully at peace within their bodies, and participants are encouraged to embrace their bodies' abilities or limitations for the day within this judgment-free environment. If there are any postures out of your comfort zone you are invited to sit back and relax while musical instruments are played. This experience is meant to be for everyone!

She has a secret superpower—she can understand baby talk. (A pretty lame superpower for a middle schooler, if you ask her.)

Rosie isn’t your average baby—she’s the most brilliant (and devious) detective in town.

Jenny would rather do anything besides babysit. But the money she raised for her dance team has been stolen—and Rosie is sure she can crack the case.

This itty-bitty investigator and her babysitting backup have no time to waste—there’s a mystery to solve before nap time!

About the Author:

Meg Cabot’s many books for both adults and teens have included numerous #1 New York Times bestsellers, with more than twenty-five million copies sold worldwide. Her Princess Diaries series has been adapted into multiple hit films by Disney. Meg currently lives in Key West, Florida, with her husband and various cats.

About the Program:

To attend in person please register here. Doors will open to registered attendees at 5 pm. All registered in person attendees will receive a free copy of the book while supplies last.

Tom Metcalfe, a scholar at the University of the South Downs, part of Britain's remaining archipelagos, pores over the archives of the early twenty-first century, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith. When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the great lost poem, revelations of entangled love and a brutal crime emerge, destroying his assumptions about a story he thought he knew intimately. What We Can Know is a masterpiece that reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe, and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost.

But for many people, there is no awareness at all, not even for an entertainer whose “Move On Up a Little Higher” sold eight million copies, who headlined two Newport Jazz Festivals and performed before four United States presidents.

While this rich musical legacy is admired by those in the know, virtually no one recognizes Jackson’s astonishing role in American civil rights history. In this startling new depiction of the renowned gospel singer, New York Times best-selling author Timothy B. Tyson and Mary D. Williams, an acclaimed gospel singer herself, bring Jackson back to soaring life by positioning her as the major civil rights figure she, in fact, was.

Mahlia Jackson, Moving On Up a Little Higher then traces Jackson’s career from abject poverty in New Orleans to global superstardom, revealing how even after meteoric success, Jackson maintained an unwavering devotion to Black freedom. In the 1930s in Chicago, even before the Civil Rights Movement took its modern shape, she used her rapturous voice to support independent Black political power. Her work only intensified in the 1940s and beyond when she campaigned first for Franklin D. Roosevelt, and later for Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson; headlined in Montgomery for the 1955–56 bus boycott; sang for the Birmingham campaign and on the Selma March; and performed at the iconic 1963 March on Washington, where she urged Martin Luther King Jr. to “Tell ’em about the dream.” In retrospect what becomes historically significant is that Mahalia Jackson was present at so many civil rights events, even singing a divine rendition of “Precious Lord, Take My Hand,” at Dr. King’s funeral in 1968. Weakened and worn, she succumbed to heart failure four years later at the age of sixty.

Weaving together Mahalia Jackson’s inspiring life journey with her soulful music into a transcendent text, this biography ultimately casts Mahalia Jackson as we’ve never seen her before, as a guiding light for the Civil Rights Movement, whose message still speaks to our struggles today.

Timothy B. Tyson and Mary D. Williams will be joined in conversation by The Atlantic's senior editor Vann Newkirk.

About the Authors:

Timothy B. Tyson is senior research scholar at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University and the author of five books, including New York Times bestseller The Blood of Emmett Till.

Mary D. Williams is a gospel singer, civil rights historian, and former adjunct professor at Duke University. She has performed at the Kennedy Center and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and lives in Garner, North Carolina.

The product of Southern aristocracy, she grew up among an influential clan of politicians and elites who founded Lexington, Kentucky. Mary’s early exposure to the male-dominated world of politics instilled in her a keen political acumen and a fierce ambition. Proclaiming as a child that she was destined to become the wife of a president, she played a crucial role in boosting her husband to greatness.

But her hopes for a triumphant experience at the pinnacle of power were lost to the Civil War and unfathomable family tragedies. Still, Mary persevered. She steadfastly supported the Union war effort, visited encampments, tended to wounded soldiers, and generously donated money and gifts to refugees from slavery. She was an unconventional, larger-than-life character who dressed too ostentatiously, grieved too publicly, suffered a shopping addiction, and seemed unable or unwilling to corral her emotions, her temper, and her opinions. She made enemies—influential men who wrote her story for her, often unfairly. After Lincoln was assassinated, she was all but abandoned by the nation he had given his life to defend and preserve.

Former Washington Post writer and columnist Lois Romano rectifies the tortured legacy of Mary Todd Lincoln, who was failed at nearly every turn in her widowhood—by her family, by her government, by medical professionals ill-equipped to diagnose her mental illness, and finally, by history. Romano draws on hundreds of archives, letters, and memoirs to provide the most complete portrait—of not simply of an inconvenient widow, but of a brilliant and flawed woman, who possessed uncommon tenacity in the face of extraordinary adversity and personal torment, and helped launch one of America’s greatest presidents.

Lois Romano will be joined in conversation by Baltimore Banner Editor in Chief Audrey Cooper.

About the Author:

Lois Romano is a national journalist and New York Times bestselling author whose work has illuminated some of the most newsworthy figures and moments in American history and public life. Over the course of a distinguished career, Lois has reported for the Washington Post, Politico, and Newsweek, earning a reputation for insightful storytelling, meticulous research, and a remarkable ability to bring political and historical figures vividly to life.

Her new book, An Inconvenient Widow: The Torment, Trial and Triumph of Mary Todd Lincoln, has been widely praised for its fresh, nuanced portrait of one of America's most misunderstood First Ladies. Through exhaustive research and compelling narrative, Lois invites readers to reconsider Mary Lincoln's life, struggles, and legacy with empathy and historical perspective. The biography reflects her insight into the interplay between politics and the human condition, revealing the complex life of a First Lady who navigated personal turmoil and public scrutiny to play a central role at the most consequential moment in our nation’s history. The book's success has resonated with readers across the country, earning Lois laudatory reviews in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker, cementing her place among today's leading biographers

In this lecture, Mike Casiano will draw from his recent book, Let Us Alone, to explore the racial origins of policing in Baltimore. The lecture will detail two interconnected themes. First, it will examine how policing evolved from an inefficient and vigilante-driven system into a modern and paramilitary endeavor focused on suppressing citizens and maximizing the power, wealth, and reach of capitalists. Second, it will analyze how decades of racial antagonism shaped Baltimore policing into an apparatus primarily oriented around subduing Black freedom. Specifically, the talk will focus on the racialized nature of public order policing, the militarization of the Baltimore police, and violations of due process in the court system.

Mike Casiano is an associate professor in UMBC’s Department of American Studies and a core faculty member in UMBC’s Public Humanities minor. His book, Let Us Alone: The Origins of Baltimore’s Police State, examines the relationship between policing, municipal governance, and race in post-Civil War Baltimore. Mike’s next project is a labor history of early twentieth century port cities in the Mid-Atlantic that examines the relationship between policing, unionization, and race. His work has been published or is forthcoming in Oxford Bibliographies, the Journal of Southern History, and the Journal of Urban History

ASL interpretation will be available for attendees.

Presented in partnership with The Maryland State Archives and The Maryland Four Centuries Project.

In this sharp and often entertaining tour through antiquity, Emily Wilson—whose renditions of Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad have captured a generation’s imagination—explores the complicated terrain of reading and writing about the ancient past. Drawing on twenty years of scholarship and teaching, Wilson explores the difficult choices that translators must make, the pleasures of finding new solutions to old problems, and the inevitable frustrations of never fully capturing what is in the original work. Across chapters that range from the politics of Helen of Troy to the obscenities of Aristophanes, from Roman imitation of Greek models to contemporary debates over “foreignizing” and “domesticizing” styles, Wilson examines how modern norms of gender, sexuality, violence, humor, and power complicate our readings of ancient works, and how translation always risks denaturing what is unique and strange about the ancient world. Brilliant, erudite, and yet accessible to readers with no classical background, Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea is at once an introduction to the wonders of Greek and Roman literature, a manifesto for the value of translation in a rapidly changing world, and an invitation to encounter ancient cultures anew.

Emily Wilson will be joined in conversation by Johns Hopkins University Classics Chair Karen ni Mheallaigh.

About the Author:

Emily Wilson is a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She has been named a fellow of the American Academy in Rome, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a MacArthur Fellow. In addition to Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, she has also published translations of Sophocles, Euripides, and Seneca. She lives in Philadelphia.

About the Moderator:

Karen ni Mheallaigh is a professor and Chair of Classics at Johns Hopkins University. She is the author of The Moon in the Greek and Roman Imagination and Reading Fiction with Lucian.

The place, a Quaker farming community turned Underground Railroad stronghold, where a Maryland enslaver had journeyed in pursuit of four men who’d fled his plantation years before. In a few hours, he’d be dead…and twenty-seven men from the village of Christiana would be rounded up and put on trial. Not for his murder, but for treason—for waging war against the United States, at a time when it was a crime against the government to obstruct an enslaver looking to reclaim his “property.”

This is story of what happened in Christiana that September morning—and in the ensuing “trial of the century,” which saw the president himself advise the prosecution on strategy and a sitting congressman serve as lead attorney for the defense. But The Ballad of the Fugitive William Parker is also a much larger tale, one spanning decades, following a whole startlingly diverse community of abolitionists in their fight to convince their fellow Americans of the subversive idea that now found itself on trial: that the nation ought to live up the ideals it was founded on, and respect all men as equals.

It’s a story that whisks readers from the quiet farmlands of Lancaster County—where a self-emancipated man named William Parker, whom legend had it bullets could not kill, rallied his neighbors to ride out each night to battle the slavecatchers who stalked their countryside—to Philadelphia’s genteel Society Hill, where socialite Harriet Forten Purvis had the ear of the mayor (and a cellar filled with fugitives). It’s stylish, propulsive, intimately human tale of bravery, ingenuity, and hope—and of ordinary people with little in common who came together to stand against injustice…and won.

Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz will be joined in conversation by author & Johns Hopkins University professor Lawrence P. Jackson.

About the Author:

Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz is the New York Times bestselling author of Dr. Mütter’s Marvels, as well as eight collections of poetry. A seventh generation Pennsylvanian, she lives in Philadelphia with her husband, the novelist Ernest Cline, and their children.

About the Moderator:

Lawrence Jackson is a biographer and critic whose work has appeared in Harper’s Magazine, n+1, and Best American Essays. He teaches English and history at Johns Hopkins and founded the Billie Holiday Project for Liberation Arts.

The play focuses on the arguments between a brother and a sister who have different ideas on what to do with the piano. The brother, Boy Willie, is a sharecropper who wants to sell the piano to buy the land (Sutter's land) where his ancestors toiled as slaves. The sister, Berniece, remains emphatic about keeping the piano, which shows the carved faces of their great-grandfather's wife and son during the days of their enslavement.

Ke Huy Quan’s Hollywood adventure began when he was twelve years old, a mere five years after his family escaped Communist Northern Vietnam and settled down to a relatively peaceful life in L.A.’s Chinatown. After attending an open call audition on a whim, he was unexpectedly swept up in the wild world of filmmaking: learning to swim from Harrison Ford on the set of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, receiving trucks full of toys from Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for his birthday, meeting Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker, and making lifelong friends on the set of The Goonies.


A star of two of the most beloved movies of the ‘80s, there appeared to be no limit to Ke’s rise. But just a few years later, the roles had dried up and it seemed like Hollywood no longer had a place for him. He eventually left acting to work odd jobs behind the scenes for directors like Wong Kar Wai. His confidence was badly shaken, but his love of performing never abated. It wasn’t until decades later, when he was 49 years old, that he stepped back in front of the camera to star in a strange little indie film called Everything Everywhere All at Once, which surprised everyone with its incredible box-office and awards season success. To call Ke’s Oscar-winning performance a triumphant return would be an understatement.


In this moving, inspirational memoir, Ke paints a vivid self-portrait, telling both heart-wrenching and funny stories of his early rise, slow fall from the spotlight, the resilience that kept him going through his darkest times, and his eventual resurrection on one of the biggest stages in Hollywood. Never Say Die is the story of Ke’s extraordinary life, a love letter to the movies and people that shaped him, and a powerful testament to never giving up on your dreams.

About the Author:

Ke Huy Quan is an Oscar-winning actor who immigrated to the United States as a child and grew up in Los Angeles. Discovered at an open casting call with no acting experience, he was cast at age 12 as Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, followed by his role as Data in the beloved adventure classic, Goonies. As opportunities became limited, he stepped away from acting to study at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, graduating in 1999, and later worked behind the scenes as an action choreographer and assistant director. After more than two decades away from acting, he returned to the screen in Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s Academy Award–winning Everything Everywhere All At Once, earning widespread acclaim along with the Academy Award, Golden Globe, and SAG Award for Best Supporting Actor. He has since appeared in Season 2 of the Disney+ series Loki, starred in Universal’s Love Hurts, and voiced Gary De’ Snake in Disney’s animated film Zootopia 2. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Echo.

Butler by Susana M. Morris.

This program has a hybrid format. Participate either in person or on Zoom.

As the first Black woman to consistently write and publish in the field of science fiction, Octavia Butler was a trailblazer. With her deft pen, she created stories speculating on the devolution of the American empire, using it as an apt metaphor for the best and worst of humanity: our innovation and ingenuity, our naked greed and ambition, our propensity for violence and hierarchy. Her fiction charts the rise and fall of the American project—the nation's transformation from a provincial backwater to a capitalist juggernaut made possible by chattel slavery, to a bloated imperialist superpower on the verge of implosion.

In this outstanding work, Susana M. Morris places Butler's story firmly within the cultural, social, and historical context that shaped her life: the Civil Rights Movement, Black Power, women's liberation, queer rights, Reaganomics. Morris reveals how these influences profoundly impacted Butler's personal and intellectual trajectory and shaped the ideas central to her writing. Her cautionary tales warn us about succumbing to fascism, gender-based violence, and climate chaos while offering alternate paradigms to religion, family, and understanding our relationships to ourselves. Butler envisioned futures with Black women at the center, raising our awareness of how those who are often dismissed have the knowledge to shift the landscape of our world.

For help obtaining a copy of the book or more information about the book club, please email fic@prattlibrary.org.

Drawn to Music is a unique fusion of sound and sight—an immersive experience where live music and visual art come together in real time. As musical performers play an evocative repertoire, artists surround the musicians, sketching the performers in the moment. Audience members are invited to observe the creative process from both sides—hearing the music unfold while witnessing its visual interpretation take shape before their eyes. Part concert, part live art session, Drawn to Music celebrates the spontaneous dialogue between music and visual expression.

Featuring the Mount Vernon 2026/27 Mars Music House Fellows

All skill levels welcome. Sketching materials provided.

* Attendees are welcome to bring their own sketching materials. But pencils only, please. Leave the messy materials like paint or charcoal at home.*

Feel free to email hkerner@prattlibrary.org if you are unsure.

You swore you'd never bribe your kid with dessert, never make a separate meal because it was easier than a standoff, never hear yourself say, "just try it," in a voice that didn't sound like your own.

Or maybe feeding was easy for years—until your child came home one day and said, "My friend says bread makes you fat," and you froze. Maybe your tween started picking at their plate after a pediatrician visit. Maybe your toddler who ate everything suddenly won't touch anything green. Now what?

Every parent wants to feed their kids well—but between picky eating, battles with sugar, confusing nutrition headlines, and the fear of saying the wrong thing about food or bodies, it's hard to feel confident about any of it. Now, in Feed Them Well, Anderson gives you the exact words, scripts, and tools you need to navigate it all—without judgment, guilt, or perfection required.

You'll learn how to talk about food without planting the seeds of diet culture. How to handle sugar, snacks, treats, and dessert in a way that actually works—at home, at birthday parties, at Grandma's house. What to do when your child refuses vegetables or gags on textures. How to navigate weight conversations when doctors, family, or other kids bring it up. And how to cut through nutrition confusion to figure out what truly matters for your family.

This isn't another recipe book. This is the book that teaches you how to think about feeding your kids, so every decision feels less like a guess and more like a plan.

About the Author:

Jennifer Anderson is a registered dietitian and has a master’s of science in public health from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. In 2019, she founded Kids Eat in Color, an authoritative resource that helps families feed their children from their first bite of solid food through picky eating and elementary-aged nutrition needs. Prior to starting Kids Eat in Color, she coordinated youth nutrition programs at a food bank, performed research in inner-city food deserts, and consulted for the USDA national office SNAP-Ed program. Her academic background is in public health nutrition, cultural anthropology, and economics.

Birth of a Culture gives you a front-row seat to the origins of hip-hop, told through the firsthand experiences of Grandmaster Flash—one of the founding pioneers who helped build the culture from the ground up.

When you read this book, you feel the pulse of the neighborhood parks, hear the scratch of the vinyl, and experience the raw energy of a community turning its daily struggles into a revolutionary art form. This is not just a collection of dates and facts. It is a deeply personal narrative written by Grandmaster Flash and coauthor Robert “Scoop” Jackson that brings you into the rooms and onto the streets where music changed forever.

This book cuts through the myths to deliver an authentic, chronological history—bringing you alongside Grandmaster Flash as he invents the groundbreaking Quik Mix Theory and helps transform a landscape of social unrest into a global movement. With turntables and microphones, the young innovator sparked a cultural explosion that quickly swept the world.

More than a timeline of musical milestones, this Birth of a Culture explores the profound power of community, resilience, and unapologetic creativity. The challenges and triumphs detailed within these pages mirror the social issues we still face, proving that music remains our most vital tool for connection and change.

Whether you are a lifelong hip-hop fan, a dedicated music historian, or simply someone who loves powerful stories of cultural triumph, this book belongs on your shelf. Once you’ve read Birth of a Culture, you can say you know the undeniable heartbeat of hip-hop's true origins.

Grandmaster Flash will be joined in conversation by Karsonya Wise Whitehead, host of Today with Dr. Kaye on WEAA 88.9 FM.

About the Author:

Grandmaster Flash, born Joseph Saddler on January 1, 1957, is recognized as one of Hip Hop’s architects and builders of the culture, the first DJ to make the turntable a musical instrument by the way of his Quik Mix Theory formula and homed devices. Grandmaster Flash’s technical innovations and artistic contributions have earned him numerous accolades. His impact on the music industry extends beyond his own successful career, as his innovative formula and sounds were translated to sound producing technologies and have inspired generations of DJs, producers and hip-hop artists to push the boundaries of creativity.

In 1878, Duanfang knows he’s destined for greatness. He’ll do anything to uphold and protect the legacy of his Manchu family—even if it means hiding his past.

In 1965, Zheng Yi flies from Taiwan to New York City to have a shot at attending an American college. Thrown into a world of parties, prejudice, and a tumultuous romance, Yi worries that New York may be more than she can handle. But just as she is beginning to adjust, she must make a shocking decision that will irrevocably change her life and her future forever.

Today, Dawn Chin’s family is opaque at best, with heavy expectations and heavier silences. But an assignment to interview her grandmother is about to crack open her real family history: a legacy hundreds of years old, and a lie decades in the making . . .

E. L. Shen is the author of The Queens of New York, which is a New York Public Library Best Book of the Year and a YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults pick. Her debut novel, The Comeback, was praised in The New York Times for its fast-paced prose, authentic dialogue, and big emotions.

Each essay tells stories of his formative moments and cultural artifacts to tell the story of our region’s cultural scene through his unique point of view. As one of our contemporary rising cultural critics, Burney’s book aptly captures this year’s theme of Revolution, Reaction, and Reform.

Brewer & Elizabeth Hazen at Central LibraryJoin us for a reading and conversation with poets Shirley J. Brewer and Elizabeth Hazen, sharing work from their new books.

About Goddess of Swizzle by Shirley J. Brewer:
Goddess of Swizzle invites the reader to "a feast for here and now." A recurring theme is a call to focus on and value the present moment—with its beauty and sorrows—rather than on some perfect scenario. "Swizzle" means to stir or mix, as if with a swizzle stick. In this collection, the author stirs up memories from childhood, adolescence, midlife, including her passion for ekphrastic poems. Each poem is a story/vignette, and each includes mention of a food or drink, to highlight ways we nurture ourselves and one another. These poems serve up slices of the personal, yet spring from a universal palate.

About The Sky Will Hold by Elizabeth Hazen:
The Sky Will Hold is a meditation on life: life inside a second marriage, life in middle age, life as a stepparent. It’s a close look at desire and addiction, at love and loss, at learning how to let go while still holding on to what is necessary. We see the inner workings of blended families, parenting a nearly-grown child, and living in an aging body with all the freedoms and pitfalls it can bring. This collection is a mantra of survival and love and continuing to move forward and always, always, believing the sky will hold, even when all signs point to the opposite.

About the Poets:

Shirley J. Brewer graduated from careers in palm-reading, bartending, and speech therapy. She serves as resident poet at Carver Center for the Arts & Technology in Towson. Her poems garnish Barrow Street, The Comstock Review, Gargoyle, Loch Raven Review, Poetry East, Slant, and other journals. Apprentice House published her fifth collection of poems, Goddess of Swizzle, in April 2026. Shirley lives in the Baltimore community of Charles Village.

Read "Wisp of Moonglow."
Learn more about Shirley J. Brewer.

Elizabeth Hazen is a poet, essayist, and teacher. She is currently teaching poetry through the Goucher Prison Education Partnership. Her work has appeared in Best American Poetry, Epoch, The Threepenny Review, Shenandoah, and other journals. She has published three collections of poetry: Chaos Theories (2016), Girls Like Us (2020), and The Sky Will Hold (2026). She lives in Baltimore with her family.

Read "Real Estate for the Blended Family (or What I Learned from Zillow)."

There are moments throughout our lives when we discover an artist, an album, a film, or a cultural artifact that leaves a lasting impression, helping inform how we understand the world, and ourselves, moving forward. In No Sense in Wishing, Lawrence Burney explores these profound interactions with incisive and energizing prose, offering us a personal and critical perspective on the people, places, music, and art that transformed him. Taking us on a journey from the streets of Baltimore to the concert halls of Lagos, No Sense in Wishing is a kaleidoscopic exploration of Burney’s search for self. With its gutsy and uncompromising criticism alongside intimate personal storytelling, it’s like an album that hits all the right notes, from a promising writer on the rise.

The new kid at school. He’s the only student who eats lunch alone, ends up at the back of the line, can’t throw a ball far enough, gets mixed up in math, and reads slower than everyone else. Every day, Rhodes wonders...

Will people ever see me? Will someone ever hear me? Will anybody ever try to understand?

Then Mr. Burton, the new school librarian, arrives with a Super-Duper Bookshelf that changes everything.

Malcolm Mitchell is the rookie who helped the New England Patriots win Super Bowl LI. He’s also the founder of an initiative called Read with Malcolm, which introduces book ownership to students, and works to improve literacy in schools.

Tehran is in violent turmoil in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The Soviets are planning to overthrow the Ayatollah’s fledgling Islamist regime. If they do so, one response contemplated in the secret chambers of American power—unknown to the public—would be to strike with nuclear weapons. Redwood is the story of how, at the height of the Cold War, one mysterious double agent, whose intelligence reached the highest levels of American and British governments, cracked open the KGB, revealed the Kremlin’s secret plot, and prevented Armageddon.

“Redwood” was the MI6 codename for this unsung, hitherto-unknown hero of the Cold War, a highly trained, six-foot-four Russian intelligence officer who chose to expose the KGB’s deepest secrets, compelled to swap sides by a shaming secret of his own. Facing exposure, with both the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and his own KGB colleagues closing in, he demanded that MI6 try to smuggle him out of Iran in a high-stakes escape plan.

This is the gripping tale of one man’s courage, and its extraordinary unintended consequences that still shape our world today. It’s about a moving friendship between spies on opposite sides of the global conflict; about marriage, loyalty, betrayal and sexual dysfunction; and about how decisions made in secret can have huge, long-term ramifications.

Drawing on never-before-seen material from archives in multiple countries, and interviews with the participants including officers from MI6 and MI5, the KGB and CIA, Redwood plunges readers back into the shadowy world of The Spy and the Traitor. It lifts the lid on an unknown and highly significant Cold War victory, on the machinations of history’s Great Game, and on how espionage really works.

Without Redwood, our world would be very different—and might not exist at all.

About the Author:

Ben Macintyre is a writer-at-large for The Times (UK) and the bestselling author of Agent Sonya, The Spy and the Traitor, A Spy Among Friends, Double Cross, Operation Mincemeat, Agent Zigzag, Rogue Heroes, and Prisoners of the Castle, among other books. Macintyre has also written and presented BBC documentaries of his work.

As the older children headed off to college and started their lives, only Barb was home to see their beautiful, still-young mother fall under a gothic spell, changing into someone she didn’t recognize: withdrawn, neglectful, uncaring. Thus begins The Vanishing Family, journalist Robert Kolker’s superb follow-up to Hidden Valley Road (“Deeply compassionate and chilling,” wrote The Washington Post). This family, we learn, has a genetic mutation that causes dementia, but with an especially cruel twist. As early as their forties, formerly loving parents and hard-driving executives will lose their jobs, have affairs, take up drinking—shed all inhibitions and sense of responsibility—and become people their families hardly know. Their former personalities seem to vanish—and there is a fifty-fifty chance that it will happen to their children, too.

The Vanishing Family unfolds like a heartbreaking thriller as the siblings begin to realize that what happened to their mother is happening to them: first one, then two, three, four, and more begin to change. Sue, in search of a calling, finds her place in caring for the others. Barb sets out to find a cure. Alongside their story, Kolker weaves in the dramatic scientific fight against dementia; after decades of blind alleys, this family’s rare form of FTD (frontotemporal dementia) might lead to a breakthrough in the prevention and treatment of all dementia—including the scourge of Alzheimer’s disease. Moving, intimate, unexpectedly hopeful and redemptive, The Vanishing Family is an enthralling narrative about one family’s fate, and a medical detective story that speaks to all of us who fear losing ourselves at the end.

Robert Kolker will be joined in conversation by bestselling author Laura Lippman.

When the adults are too busy, too skeptical, too caught up in the ordinary world to see the darkness gathering at the edges of it? That is Kids on Bikes.

In this tabletop roleplaying game, you and your friends play ordinary kids in an ordinary neighborhood. You ride your bikes. You know your streets. And you are the only ones who know what is coming.

Because something is coming.

The adults cannot see it. Maybe they will not. Maybe they cannot. That part does not matter.

What matters is that your neighborhood needs defending, your friends need you, and the only weapons you have are your courage, your wits, and each other.

No controllers. No screens. Just a table, some friends, some dice, and a story that belongs to everyone in the room.

Inspired by the storytelling of Stranger Things, E.T., and Stand By Me. No experience necessary. Sign up for all sessions, if possible. If not, reach out to info@churchonthesquarebaltimore.org to be prepared for a drop -n session.

Ages 11 and up. Free.

Twins Tessa and Theo live in a world ruled by a tyrannical leader, where there are no dangers or rebels... or so they've been told. In this world, citizens live long lives, and while many hate their leader, they are comfortable and safe. So, when Tessa's brother disappears, nobody wants to discuss it. But then Miriam, their 135-year-old neighbor bound for the retirement community, slips Tessa a key—not only to her brother's disappearance, but to the source of all real magic . . . books. As Tessa and her parents begin their search for Theo, Tessa learns that books not only tell us stories—they open portals and unlock our humanity through our most powerful tool: the imagination. Once that truth has been revealed, Tessa won't be able to rest until she has retrieved her twin and society itself has been transformed.

Two-time Newbery-winner Lois Lowry has crafted a narrative that feels at once prescient and eternal: in this world, the imagination is the revolution. Not only does Building 903 sit in the same resonant space as The Giver Quartet, but it is also a profound addition to Lois's enduring body of work—and a testament to the strength and value of her voice, vision, and legacy.

About the Author:

Lois Lowry is the author of more than fifty books for children and young adults, including the New York Times bestselling Giver Quartet and the popular Anastasia Krupnik series. She has received countless honors, among them the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award, the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award, the California Young Reader Medal, and the Mark Twain Award. She received Newbery Medals for two of her novels, Number the Stars and The Giver.

Teresa ran a thriving medical practice specializing in anti-aging and holistic care. Mark, a former nurse, managed the business while home-schooling their two daughters. Then, in June 2015, the unimaginable happened: Teresa was found murdered in their kitchen.

Mark’s alibi was airtight. He and the girls were in New York on a family vacation. Initial signs pointed to a burglary gone wrong, but it soon became clear that the attack was targeted. The Sievers’ friends and relatives were shocked. Teresa was a respected, charismatic physician, nicknamed a “modern-day Mother Teresa.” Yet someone hated her enough to bludgeon her to death.

Cracks appeared beneath the glossy surface of the Sievers’ lives. Teresa’s quest for fame had led her to make some questionable decisions. The couple’s marriage was passionate but volatile. Then there was Mark’s childhood best friend, who looked so much like him that the two were often mistaken for twins. The bond between the two men was intense and intimate.

In a compelling narrative that goes beyond conventional true crime tropes, acclaimed author and psychoanalyst Mikita Brottman delves into a case that encompasses both obsessive love and deep hatred, probing the corrosive, sometimes deadly nature of both.

Mikita Brottman will be joined in conversation by poet and MICA professor Jane Lewty.

About the Author:

Mikita Brottman is a writer and psychoanalyst living in Baltimore, Maryland. Her book, An Unexplained Death, was shortlisted for the Gold Dagger Award for nonfiction by the Crime Writers Association of the UK. She has a DPhil from Oxford University and is a professor of literature at the Maryland Institute College of Art.

About the Moderator:
Jane Lewty is the author of Bravura Cool (1913 Press) In One Form To Find Another (Cleveland State University Poetry Center). Her third book of poetry, Vespers, is forthcoming from the University of Iowa Press in November, 2026. She lives in Baltimore, and teaches at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).

Then he'll be on his way to joining the ranks of Chicago legends like his pops and late Uncle Kenny. But when Shake fractures his ankle in a championship game, he's sidelined for the first time since his first dribble.

As his world is turned upside down, Shake feels like there’s ginger ale bubbling in his chest and sweat slicking on his palms. With a best friend who’s getting more distant by the day, a growing silence between him and his dad, and varsity tryouts fast approaching, Shake will have to cross up every obstacle to find a way back onto the court—and back to being himself. Thankfully in Marshall Grove, the sky is always full of hope.

So-called voting rights amendments, like the Fifteenth or Nineteenth Amendment, forbid restrictions to voting.
And the Constitution doesn’t regulate how voting occurs, states do with decentralized voting systems, creating layers of oversight--and independence.
As part of National Voter Education Week at Pratt, “Getting Out the Vote” will present a history of how we all got to vote, from the earliest plans to present-day practices. You’ll also learn the how-tos of voting in Maryland, from League of Women Voters member Paige Bacon.

Two centuries later, why do we continue to descend into the darkness of his imagination—and of the genres, from horror to crime, that he pioneered?

In this spellbinding and singular book, Guggenheim Fellow and Whiting grant recipient Emily Ogden plumbs the darkness within Poe and enters it alongside him. She interweaves stories from his mysterious and tragic life—from his strange disappearances and tortured romances to his nearly fatal use of opium—with those of his most famous readers and translators, including poet Charles Baudelaire, writer Julio Cortázar, and psychoanalyst Marie Bonaparte, a descendant of Napoleon and a patient of Sigmund Freud.

Tracing their passionate attachments to Poe—and Ogden’s own, unexpectedly sparked when she taught an introductory Poe course at the University of Virginia, where Poe himself was once a student—Darkness Becomes Bright makes a different case for literature from the one we most often hear. This exquisite volume shows how Poe’s vision and its echoes across the generations allow us to make peace with our own flawed humanity.

Emily Ogden will be joined in conversation by by WYPR's Senior News Analyst Tom Hall.

About the Author:
Emily Ogden is the author of On Not Knowing: How to Love and Other Essays and Credulity: A Cultural History of US Mesmerism. The recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, a Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant, and a Mellon Fellowship in the Columbia Society of Fellows, she is a professor of English at the University of Virginia.

About the Moderator:

Tom Hall is WYPR's Senior News Analyst. He was the host of Midday, the award-winning, highly rated news and public policy program on WYPR Radio that featured interviews with elected officials, community leaders, as well as thought provoking authors, artists, researchers, journalists and scholars from around the world.

No Sense in Wishing: Essays on Black Music, Belonging, and Baltimore by Lawrence Burney is a personal and analytical essay collection that showcases his home city of Baltimore, music from throughout the global Black diaspora, and the traditions that raised him. Each essay tells stories of his formative moments and cultural artifacts to tell the story of our region’s cultural scene through his unique point-of-view. As one of our contemporary rising cultural critics, Burney’s book aptly captures this year’s theme of Revolution, Reaction, and Reform.

Join Baltimore Museum of Industry Archivist Maggi Marzolf for a behind-the-scenes look at archival materials that explore the perspectives of the workers who supported and labored in Baltimore-based industries. Through photographs, documents, and other rarely seen materials, explore stories of labor, unionization, workplace culture, and the social and economic forces that shaped workers' experiences. Featured collections include the Charles Bernstein Papers, BGE, Bethlehem Steel, the Port That Built a City and State film collection, and the Joseph Kotelchuk Papers—including materials that have yet to make their public debut in the museum's online archives.

Maggi Marzolf has served as the BMI’s Archivist since 2020. In this role, she stewards more than 4,500 linear feet of archival collections and a 5,000-volume research library documenting Maryland's rich industrial and labor history. She oversees the acquisition, preservation, digitization, and accessibility of the museum's archival collections while collaborating across exhibitions, public programs, and community engagement to bring these stories to life. Marzolf’s work helps preserve and share the experiences of workers, industries, innovators, and communities that shaped Baltimore's past and continue to inform its future. Marzolf holds an MLIS from the University of Maryland, College Park and an M.A. in Museum Studies from Johns Hopkins University.

ASL interpretation will be available for attendees.

Presented in partnership with The Maryland State Archives and The Maryland Four Centuries Project.

A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art's Social Design program, she writes about love, race, womanhood, and humanity with a viral reach and a timeless depth. She has worked with everyone from city government to nonprofits and has been featured in Baltimore Magazine, WYPR, and Maryland Matters. Alanah believes the most powerful stories aren't the polished ones, they're the real ones. She's here to help you find yours. Event Description: Your story didn't begin when you walked into this room. It started long before, in the places you grew up, the people who shaped you, the moments that left a mark. This workshop invites you to dig into the experiences and identities that make you you, and transform them into stories worth telling. No performance required. Just honesty, curiosity, and the courage to begin. Every person in this room carries a universe of experience. This workshop creates space for stories rooted in who you are, your background, your values, your journey. We'll explore how personal identity becomes a storytelling superpower, and how sharing authentically builds bridges between people. Participants will:

Uncover the personal stories and lived experiences worth sharingAdapt their narrative across formats including podcasts, news articles, personal essays, and Instagram captionsPractice writing and recording for both long-form depth and short-form impactStart leaning into a signature voice that stays consistent across platformsLeave with real, ready-to-publish drafts in multiple formats

Americans across the political spectrum increasingly express frustration with their electoral choices, their political parties, and the functioning of our governmental institutions. Drawing upon illustrations from popular culture and the experiences of democracies around the world, Stearns identifies the root problem of two-party presidentialism. Stearns explores why coalition governments, multiparty competition, and parliamentary institutions have proved more successful around the globe and how their best features can be pragmatically adapted to the United States.

Stearns will examine popularly discussed alternatives, including ranked-choice voting, the national popular vote, and congressional term limits. He will explain why, despite the growing attention such reforms have received, none address the profound challenges confronting American democracy and each faces fundamental enactment challenges. In this engaging and accessible presentation, Stearns will discuss the continuing crisis of democratic governance, the prospects for meaningful reform, and why serious conversations about constitutional design matter more than ever.

About the Author:

Maxwell L. Stearns is the Venable, Baetjer & Howard Professor of Law at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law. He has authored dozens of articles and several books on the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and the economic analysis of law.

About the Program:

Books will be available for purchase.Street parking, ADA-accessible parking spot, and bike parking available. There is a public parking garage nearby. The EV charging station is temporarily out of service.

Through history, libraries have been destroyed--by fire, flood, war and neglect. Yet if the physical building or even part of the collection is gone, the library, as fragments or concept, often carries on in some form. These library 'ghosts' often have surprising afterlives which speak to the resilience of these institutions, the love of their users, and the importance libraries in our society. We invite you to join the Baltimore Bibliophiles as we journey through history to meet some library ghosts.

The kitchen is the “heart of the home,” or at least it's supposed to be. But wait! What's that lurking under the sink? Behind the cabinets? In the back of the refrigerator?! When celebrated New Yorker cartoonists Roz Chast and Jason Adam Katzenstein confessed to each other that their kitchens were far from Martha Stewart perfect, they knew they couldn't be the only ones cracking under the pressure of their pressure cookers.

In The Two Saddest Kitchens, Roz and Jason combine their hilarious cartoon sensibilities to take (chicken) stock of everything from tragic pantries to the secret double life of Mr. Clean. Let Roz and Jason guide you through their divine kitchen comedy as they ponder the fancy utensils that will never be used, the recipes that will never be followed, and the dream kitchens that exist only on the astral plane, which is maybe for the best.

About the Authors:

Roz Chast’s cartoons began appearing in the New Yorker in 1978, where she has since published more than one thousand. She is the author of the graphic memoirs Can We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, a #1 New York Times bestseller (100+ weeks), a National Book Critics Circle Award and Kirkus Prize winner and finalist for the National Book Award; National Bestseller I Must Be Dreaming; Going Into Town (Winner of the New York City Book Award); What I Hate: From A to Z; and her cartoon collections The Party, After You Left and Theories of Everything, among others. She was awarded the Harvey Hall of Fame Award. She lives in Connecticut and New York.

Jason Adam Katzenstein is a cartoonist and comedy writer whose work has appeared in the New Yorker, the New York Times, and MAD Magazine. He is the author and illustrator of the graphic memoir Everything Is an Emergency. He lives in New York.

When the adults are too busy, too skeptical, too caught up in the ordinary world to see the darkness gathering at the edges of it? That is Kids on Bikes.

In this tabletop roleplaying game, you and your friends play ordinary kids in an ordinary neighborhood. You ride your bikes. You know your streets. And you are the only ones who know what is coming.

Because something is coming.

The adults cannot see it. Maybe they will not. Maybe they cannot. That part does not matter.

What matters is that your neighborhood needs defending, your friends need you, and the only weapons you have are your courage, your wits, and each other.

No controllers. No screens. Just a table, some friends, some dice, and a story that belongs to everyone in the room.

Inspired by the storytelling of Stranger Things, E.T., and Stand By Me. No experience necessary. Sign up for all sessions, if possible. If not, reach out to info@churchonthesquarebaltimore.org to be prepared for a drop -n session.

Ages 11 and up. Free.

Grandma has orchestrated a New Orleans scavenger hunt for her female relatives, determined to bring her family back together if it’s the last thing she does. Everyone game? If not, no one gets a dime.

Of course, Grandma, bless her meddling heart, has other motives in mind for all of them. Especially for her guarded sister, Mona, who fled decades ago and never looked back. Following a preplanned itinerary for one revelatory week, the women find themselves on a Mississippi River jazz cruise, braving a bayou swamp tour, uncovering forgotten histories in old cemeteries, rekindling former flames, and, just as grandma planned, unlocking what they’ve hidden from each other for far too long.

Amid beignets, popcorn shrimp, and chicory coffee―so bitter and sweet―these women just might discover that no matter what awaits them at the end, the real treasure is becoming the family they were meant to be.

This isn’t just the story of one viral moment with President Trump. It’s about the avalanche that follows: the scrutiny, the emotional and physical toll, and the way your identity can become fuel for headlines and hashtags.

April pulls back the curtain on what it truly costs to be seen and what it takes to survive it. With vulnerability and power, she recounts the moments that made her go viral, not because she chased attention, but because she showed up authentically. Her presence, her truth, and her refusal to shrink under pressure struck a chord and sparked cultural firestorms.

From a high-stakes press room showdown to the history-making decision by Vice President Kamala Harris, from the public disrespect of Stevie Wonder to the slap heard around the world, April explores how race, gender, and power collide in a world addicted to outrage and instant opinions.

At its core, this book explores visibility—its price, its power, and the fight to reclaim your story when millions are watching. What does it mean to go viral when your hair is politicized, your voice is policed, and your very existence is treated as a threat? Sometimes, this is what it feels like when the spotlight finds you: uninvited, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.

About the Author:

April Ryan is a renowned journalist, author, and political analyst. She hosts The Tea with April on Substack and has authored Black Women Will Save the World and Under Fire. Based in the surrounding Baltimore area, Ryan continues to amplify critical conversations on race, gender, and politics.

There were reverends and rabbis, activists and Rat-Pack icons—and of course the day’s headliner, whose prophetic dream of a post-Jim Crow world has forever defined the Civil Rights Movement. But there is no “class photo” of the Black women who helped organize the march, performed on its main stage, or were honored during its “Tribute to Negro Women Fighters for Freedom.”

In How Bright the Path Grows, Marcia Chatelain weaves a gleaming group portrait of these singular women. Among this cohort were several household names: vaudeville icon Josephine Baker; civil rights activist Rosa Parks, gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and Daisy Bates, champion of the Little Rock Nine. But many were relative unknowns, including Eva Jessye, the choir director who designed the day’s musical program, and Anna Hedgeman, the coordinator who pushed in the eleventh hour for a tribute to Black women’s work.

How Bright the Path Grows is a scintillating group biography, rendering the lives of thirteen Black women visionaries—some famous, others soon to be—in novelistic detail and like never seen before.

Marcia Chatelain will be joined in conversation by award-winning journalist and author Elaine Weiss.

About the Author:

Marcia Chatelain is a Presidential Penn Compact Professor of Africana studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of South Side Girls and Franchise, which won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in History, the James Beard Foundation Book Award for Writing, the Hagley Prize for Business History, and the Lawrence W. Levine Award from the Organization of American Historians. An active public speaker and educational consultant, Chatelain has received awards and honors from the Ford Foundation, the American Association of University Women, and the German Marshall Fund of the United States.

Up in the attic where no one ever goes, there lives a very scary book. He might look scary, but all he wants is a friend. When, one day, he feels brave enough to venture downstairs, he ends up frightening the other books. Will Scary ever be able to find a friend who sees him for who he truly is?

No Sense in Wishing: Essays on Black Music, Belonging, and Baltimore by Lawrence Burney is a personal and analytical essay collection that showcases his home city of Baltimore, music from throughout the global Black diaspora, and the traditions that raised him.

Inside glass tanks in crowded aquariums, jellies hold visitors rapt with their slow-motion water ballet. Most of the world’s nearly four thousand species emit an otherworldly light, glowing red, yellow, violet, or blue in the underwater dark. Fifty species boast deadly venom, including pink meanies with boa-like tentacles, box jellies with two-dozen eyes apiece, and deadliest of all, cubozoans the size of human thumbnails. Coretta Scott King Award–winning author Carole Boston Weatherford brings poetry and playfulness to natural science as she shares her fascination with a singular creature. Fourteen wildly divergent poems—by turns dramatic and serene—pulse with life. From spreads of shimmering bioluminescence to graphic panels, stylish artwork blends poetry with science and fact with folklore and myth to form the ideal introduction to the “immortal” and mysterious jellyfish.

About the Author:

Carole Boston Weatherford is a New York Times bestselling author of 60-plus books including the Caldecott Honor book Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre, for which she was also awarded the Coretta Scott King Author Award and a Sibert Honor; the Newbery Honor winner Box; and the Caldecott Honor winners Freedom in Congo Square, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Moses. She won a Coretta Scott King Author Honor for Becoming Billie Holiday. Weatherford teaches composition and children's literature at Fayetteville State University in North Carolina.

Each essay tells stories of his formative moments and cultural artifacts to tell the story of our region’s cultural scene through his unique point of view.

During one of the most violent battles of the Civil War, three brothers fighting for the Confederate army decide to go AWOL and make their way home, willing to risk execution rather than be killed in a losing war. After several exhausting weeks of rough terrain, the brothers find a miracle deep in the dark woods: a homestead. Living in this remote cabin is a beautiful woman, Sarafina, and her young son, Titus. She takes the soldiers in, feeds them, offers them a place to rest. But the youngest brother is wary—something seems off. As the days pass, he discovers a mysterious creek, a strange underground cavern, and a strong sense that the cabin and the surrounding fertile land are not what they seem. The brothers soon find themselves in a new battle, an escalation of horrors they must somehow fight to survive.

Tyrannosaurus rex is a prehistoric celebrity. Exceeding 40 feet in length and weighing over 9 tons, the largest individuals of this dinosaurian species were intimidating predators capable of crushing bone and consuming more than a hundred pounds of flesh in a bite. But the last of the tyrant dinosaurs had a life beyond ripping and tearing. More than 66 million years ago, T. rex courted each other, nested, watched over their offspring, slept, drank, and explored ancient floodplains inhabited by a fantastic cast of impressive dinosaurs like the huge long-neck Alamosaurus and burly, three-horned Torosaurus. For the first time, the life story of this impressive, sensitive predator is told as if you were there to watch it unfold.

In her latest prehistoric nature walk, bestselling and award-winning author Riley Black follows the life of plucky T. rex Snaggletooth from the time she hatches through her tumultuous adulthood. The prehistoric forest Snag emerges into is full of danger, and yet, as Riley weaves the latest fossil discoveries into the story, the carnivorous dinosaur survives to play, court, fight, sleep, nest, and more as she grows up in Cretaceous North America. She tussles with rival tyrannosaurs, hunts for delectable prey, and finds soft moments of connection in the forest. Even the most die-hard dinosaur fan will come away with a new perspective and appreciation for the Tyrant Lizard Queen.

About the Author:

RILEY BLACK (she/they) has been heralded as “one of our premier gifted young science writers” and is the bestselling, award-winning author of several books, including When the Earth Was Green and The Last Days of the Dinosaurs. A science correspondent for Smithsonian and regular contributor to publications like National Geographic and Slate, Riley is a widely-recognized expert on paleontology. She won the 2024 Friend of Darwin Award from the National Center for Science Education.

When the adults are too busy, too skeptical, too caught up in the ordinary world to see the darkness gathering at the edges of it? That is Kids on Bikes.

In this tabletop roleplaying game, you and your friends play ordinary kids in an ordinary neighborhood. You ride your bikes. You know your streets. And you are the only ones who know what is coming.

Because something is coming.

The adults cannot see it. Maybe they will not. Maybe they cannot. That part does not matter.

What matters is that your neighborhood needs defending, your friends need you, and the only weapons you have are your courage, your wits, and each other.

No controllers. No screens. Just a table, some friends, some dice, and a story that belongs to everyone in the room.

Inspired by the storytelling of Stranger Things, E.T., and Stand By Me. No experience necessary. Sign up for all sessions, if possible. If not, reach out to info@churchonthesquarebaltimore.org to be prepared for a drop -n session.

Ages 11 and up. Free.

Every time a new family moves in, he greets them with a beautiful yellow rose, the flower of friendship. But no one understands what he's trying to say, and they always get scared away!

Then one day, Tara-a girl who uses a device to talk-moves in. It turns out Tara knows just as much about plants as Leroy. Is it possible she speaks the language of flowers, too, and that Leroy has finally found someone who understands him?

This sweet picture book celebrates the many different ways we communicate with each other, showing there's more than one way to find your voice and make a friend.

About the Author:

Emily Rosenthal (she/her) is a writer and illustrator based in Baltimore, Maryland. She loves ghosts, monsters, and all kinds of creatures, and frequently tells stories about them. When not coming up with stories, Emily plays soccer, watches scary movies, and snuggles with her cat. She’s thankful for everyone who has believed she has something important to say. Leroy Has Something to Say is her first picture book.

About the Program:

To attend in person please register here. Doors will open to registered attendees at 3pm. All registered in person attendees will receive a free copy of the book while supplies last. Free street parking is available along the side of the building.

In this book, Christopher Freeburg answers that question with one word: soul. It was soul, Freeburg believes, which drove Black individuals and communities, grappling with horrific strife, to reimagine American life and equality in earnest.

Black cultural life contains a central and significant theme—a soul, or form of life—expressed in a variety of musical, religious, and political forms. Through the work and words of figures ranging from the poet Phillis Wheatley to President Barack Obama and musician Nina Simone to disco owner Jewel Thais-Williams, Freeburg shows how Black communities leaned time and again on soul and its four pillars: resonance, revelation, resilience, and transcendence. It is soul, what Freeburg calls a beautiful transaction between individual and community across time and place, that has allowed Black people over generations to transform feelings of defeat and alienation into moral courage and shared belonging.

About the Author:

Christopher Freeburg is the Presidential Humanities and Social Sciences Chair in English at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. His most recent book was Counterlife: Slavery after Resistance and Social Death.

You will have the opportunity to see first hand the step-by-step process they take in making one of their favorite recipes. There will be opportunities to help prepare and taste the final dish, and everyone will take a complete recipe home. November's demo will feature Chef Isabella of Archive Soup.

Hot Lipz, everyone’s favorite–or least favorite–Chatter account is back at it, stirring up gossip among the rival schools in Da Icy City. Selena knows that it’s only a matter of time before she finds herself on the other end of the rumors—and she has a secret.

While Selena sets out to uncover Hot Lipz’s true identity, Leesh is still reeling from the account’s last big reveal: she has a sister, and it’s none other than her biggest gymnastics rival, Chyna. Now somebody from Leesh’s past is calling in a favor, and if anyone finds out, it could ruin everything she’s worked for.

The pressure is on as the Power Panthers Gymnastics team prepares to compete in the Diamond Cup, and with a new student arriving at the Heights, loyalties will be tested like never before.

About the Author:

Paula Chase is the co-founder of the award-winning blog, The Brown Bookshelf. She is a longtime advocate for diversifying the type of fiction featuring Black characters. Chase is the author of nine critically acclaimed upper middle grade and YA novels and a winner of NCTE’s Assembly on Literature for Adolescents (ALAN) Konigsberg Award.

Jason G. Green was raised on fellowship—literally. Fellowship Lane served as a spiritual metaphor throughout his coming of age. A precocious preacher’s kid, Green felt a call to the ministry but ultimately devoted himself to public service. After working on Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, the young attorney spent four and a half years serving in the White House as special assistant to President Obama.

However, Green’s government career was cut short by a devastating call. It seemed his beloved ninety-five-year-old grandmother was on her deathbed. At her side, he listened in disbelief while she detailed her life story dating back to her 1918 birth in Quince Orchard, a town in Montgomery County, that once stood where they now sat, erased by the vestiges of time. How could he have never known the legacy of this robust community that he’d descended from? How could its entire existence have vanished from history but for the memory of a few elders? Green’s historical research uncovered a surprising trove of tales about his newly freed ancestors who built an African American house of worship, and whose progeny, on the eve of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination, made the brave decision to create an integrated church. Quince Orchard’s lost story is part of what Green calls the texture in the American fabric: the moral leadership of the Black church, the longstanding resilience of the Black community, and the transformative love of the Black family.

Based on his memoir, Too Precious to Lose, Green discusses the family and community he discovered and the truths he learned from the compassionate, communal-led lives of his forebearers.

Jason G. Green is a Maryland-born community organizer, attorney, storyteller and entrepreneur. Green served as special assistant and associate White House Counsel to President Obama, advising on economic and domestic policy matters. Green co-founded SkillSmart, a company that reshapes how communities measure economic impact, and is CEO of EverGreen Labs, where he supports visionary organizations working to expand economic opportunity and strengthen community. Green serves as trustee to the Pleasant View Historic Association and supports its efforts to preserve the historic site. His award-winning documentary, Finding Fellowship, explores the rich history of Quince Orchard and the fight to preserve its legacy. A graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and Yale Law School, Green remains rooted in the work of truth and justice, investing in stories that remind us who we are. He currently spends time between Maryland and Dallas, Texas, with his wife, Ritu, and son, Aidan.

ASL interpretation will be available for attendees.

Presented in partnership with The Maryland State Archives and The Maryland Four Centuries Project.

When the adults are too busy, too skeptical, too caught up in the ordinary world to see the darkness gathering at the edges of it? That is Kids on Bikes.

In this tabletop roleplaying game, you and your friends play ordinary kids in an ordinary neighborhood. You ride your bikes. You know your streets. And you are the only ones who know what is coming.

Because something is coming.

The adults cannot see it. Maybe they will not. Maybe they cannot. That part does not matter.

What matters is that your neighborhood needs defending, your friends need you, and the only weapons you have are your courage, your wits, and each other.

No controllers. No screens. Just a table, some friends, some dice, and a story that belongs to everyone in the room.

Inspired by the storytelling of Stranger Things, E.T., and Stand By Me. No experience necessary. Sign up for all sessions, if possible. If not, reach out to info@churchonthesquarebaltimore.org to be prepared for a drop -n session.

Ages 11 and up. Free.

Drawn to Music is a unique fusion of sound and sight—an immersive experience where live music and visual art come together in real time. As musical performers play an evocative repertoire, artists surround the musicians, sketching the performers in the moment. Audience members are invited to observe the creative process from both sides—hearing the music unfold while witnessing its visual interpretation take shape before their eyes. Part concert, part live art session, Drawn to Music celebrates the spontaneous dialogue between music and visual expression.

Featuring the Mount Vernon 2026/27 Mars Music House Fellows

All skill levels welcome. Sketching materials provided.

* Attendees are welcome to bring their own sketching materials. But pencils only, please. Leave the messy materials like paint or charcoal at home.*

Feel free to email hkerner@prattlibrary.org if you are unsure.

At times funny and irreverent, always moving and deeply urgent, these stories—among them a National Magazine Award and a Pushcart Prize winner—cap a fifteen-year project. From the Nile's depths to the highest reaches of the atmosphere, from volcano-racked islands to an asylum on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, these are tales of ecstasy, epiphany, and what the New York Times Magazine called the "struggle for survival . . . hand to hand, word to word," by "one of the finest prose stylists in American fiction."

This program has a hybrid format. Participate either in person or on Zoom.

2014: At a dinner for close friends and colleagues, renowned poet Francis Blundy honors his wife’s birthday by reading aloud a new poem dedicated to her, "A Corona for Vivien." Little does anyone gathered around the candlelit table know that for generations to come, people will speculate about the message of this poem, a copy of which has never been found, and which remains an enduring mystery.

2119: Just over one hundred years in the future, much of the western world has been submerged by rising seas following a catastrophic nuclear accident. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost. In the waterlogged south of what used to be England, Thomas Metcalfe, a lonely scholar and researcher, longs for the early twenty-first century as he chases the ghost of one poem, "A Corona for Vivian." When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the elusive poem’s discovery, a story is revealed that destroys his assumptions about people he thought he knew intimately well.

What We Can Know is a masterpiece, a love story about both people and the words they leave behind, a literary detective story that reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost.

For help obtaining a copy of the book or more information about the book club, please email fic@prattlibrary.org.

Free parking validation stickers will be available to program attendees who park at the Franklin Street Garage (15 W. Franklin Street) while supplies last. Take a ticket when you enter the garage, and ask Pratt event staff for your parking validation sticker prior to or after the program.

About Dope Calisthenics:
Sylvia Jones's sophomore collection examines the pressure exerted on working-class Black life by spectacle, debt, inheritance, and the market's endless demand for performance. The poems move through Baltimore, television, retail language, protest remnants, and borrowed speech, tracking how public feeling hardens into product and how survival becomes a style others learn to consume. Class aspiration and class entrapment, the theater of mobility, and the material afterlife of slogans once the moment of display has passed all loom large as Jones asks what kind of consciousness repetition makes, and what remains when the shift ends and the bill arrives? Dope Calisthenics is a book about the psychic drills required to live inside scarcity while being told to call it possibility instead.

About Vespers:

Often called “evening prayer,” vespers is held around sunset. Its purpose: to give thanks for the day and offer a sacrifice of praise to God. In Jane Lewty’s Vespers, she superimposes the tropes of the Christian ritual onto a very different type of sacrifice—that of making art. Through nightly devotion, the speaker of these poems maps ritual until it degrades: the speaker as an obedient robot, a scribe-concubine, a centaur wearing skates, a poet seeking virtuosity and dexterity. Vespers asks: What if writing prompts are a bad idea? What if one could become addicted to the incremental process? Is it possible to walk away from an addiction without suffering and trauma?

About the Poets:

Sylvia Jones is the author of Television Fathers (Meekling Press, 2024) and Dope Calisthenics, forthcoming from Relegation Books in fall 2026. Her poems have appeared in Annulet, DIAGRAM, Smartish Pace, Shenandoah, Common Place Poetics, Long News: Poetry & Poetics, The American Poetry Review, The Hopkins Review, and elsewhere. She teaches creative writing at George Washington University and lives in Baltimore, Maryland.

Read "Government Shutdown Day 15" and four other poems.

Jane Lewty is the author of three poetry collections: Vespers (Iowa University Press, 2026), Bravura Cool (1913 Press), and In One Form To Find Another (Cleveland State University Poetry Center). She lives in Baltimore and teaches at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).

Read "an eros" and "cloister."

When the adults are too busy, too skeptical, too caught up in the ordinary world to see the darkness gathering at the edges of it? That is Kids on Bikes.

In this tabletop roleplaying game, you and your friends play ordinary kids in an ordinary neighborhood. You ride your bikes. You know your streets. And you are the only ones who know what is coming.

Because something is coming.

The adults cannot see it. Maybe they will not. Maybe they cannot. That part does not matter.

What matters is that your neighborhood needs defending, your friends need you, and the only weapons you have are your courage, your wits, and each other.

No controllers. No screens. Just a table, some friends, some dice, and a story that belongs to everyone in the room.

Inspired by the storytelling of Stranger Things, E.T., and Stand By Me. No experience necessary. Sign up for all sessions, if possible. If not, reach out to info@churchonthesquarebaltimore.org to be prepared for a drop -n session.

Ages 11 and up. Free.

Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals from its war wounds, and Daniel, an antiquarian book dealer's son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julian Carax. But when he sets out to find the author's other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax's books in existence. Soon Daniel's seemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelona's darkest secrets—an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love.

When the adults are too busy, too skeptical, too caught up in the ordinary world to see the darkness gathering at the edges of it? That is Kids on Bikes.

In this tabletop roleplaying game, you and your friends play ordinary kids in an ordinary neighborhood. You ride your bikes. You know your streets. And you are the only ones who know what is coming.

Because something is coming.

The adults cannot see it. Maybe they will not. Maybe they cannot. That part does not matter.

What matters is that your neighborhood needs defending, your friends need you, and the only weapons you have are your courage, your wits, and each other.

No controllers. No screens. Just a table, some friends, some dice, and a story that belongs to everyone in the room.

Inspired by the storytelling of Stranger Things, E.T., and Stand By Me. No experience necessary. Sign up for all sessions, if possible. If not, reach out to info@churchonthesquarebaltimore.org to be prepared for a drop -n session.

Ages 11 and up. Free.

Drawn to Music is a unique fusion of sound and sight—an immersive experience where live music and visual art come together in real time. As musical performers play an evocative repertoire, artists surround the musicians, sketching the performers in the moment. Audience members are invited to observe the creative process from both sides—hearing the music unfold while witnessing its visual interpretation take shape before their eyes. Part concert, part live art session, Drawn to Music celebrates the spontaneous dialogue between music and visual expression.

Featuring the Mount Vernon 2026/27 Mars Music House Fellows

All skill levels welcome. Sketching materials provided.

* Attendees are welcome to bring their own sketching materials. But pencils only, please. Leave the messy materials like paint or charcoal at home.*

When the adults are too busy, too skeptical, too caught up in the ordinary world to see the darkness gathering at the edges of it? That is Kids on Bikes.

In this tabletop roleplaying game, you and your friends play ordinary kids in an ordinary neighborhood. You ride your bikes. You know your streets. And you are the only ones who know what is coming.

Because something is coming.

The adults cannot see it. Maybe they will not. Maybe they cannot. That part does not matter.

What matters is that your neighborhood needs defending, your friends need you, and the only weapons you have are your courage, your wits, and each other.

No controllers. No screens. Just a table, some friends, some dice, and a story that belongs to everyone in the room.

Inspired by the storytelling of Stranger Things, E.T., and Stand By Me. No experience necessary. Sign up for all sessions, if possible. If not, reach out to info@churchonthesquarebaltimore.org to be prepared for a drop -n session.

Ages 11 and up. Free.
