When it comes to genealogy, it’s really NOT “all on line.” If you’re serious about breaking though those “brick walls” in your family tree research, you’ll need to step away from the computer and go on a few field trips.
Family history field trips…to another town, a local cemetery, or another country…can give your priceless results.
Learn how to prepare and how to make the best use of your time!
Pittsburgh is a hardworking city. And hard workers sometimes enjoy the occasional spirit. So, when Prohibition hit the Steel City, it created a level of violence and corruption residents had never witnessed. Join author Richard Gazarik as he details the shady side of the Steel City during a tumultuous era.
Gazarik is a former reporter for the Tribune-Review and has written several books about historical events in the Pittsburgh area.
Thanks to a generous grant from the State of Pennsylvania, we have a LOT of really fun blocks, everything from large wooden shapes to Lincoln Logs to Magna Tiles. We invite families and children (under 6) to come in and play and build!
Next session will be Monday, November 27 at 6pm. C’mon in and build!
Thanks to many generous donors, we have enough Lego bricks to REALLY have fun!
Next gathering? Tuesday, Nov. 21 at 6:30pm. These are regular-sized Lego bricks, so please, no little ones. It’s just open-play building. Let’s see what your kids can do!
Join us at the library for this special Event. We will be giving away FREE GLASSES for VIEWING, while supplies last.
Writers tend to be so self-critical; let’s focus on the positive!
What’s working for your story? Who are your characters? What else could you try?
Let me try to help you find a new tool, book, website, app, blog – whatever I can find! – to work through your issues or get inspired.
