"Martyr!" by Kaveh Akbar."Cyrus Shams is a young man grappling with an inheritance of violence and loss: his mother’s plane was shot down over the skies of the Persian Gulf in a senseless accident; and his father’s life in America was circumscribed by his work killing chickens at a factory farm in the Midwest. Cyrus is a drunk, an addict, and a poet, whose obsession with martyrs leads him to examine the mysteries of his past—toward an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields dressed as the angel of death to inspire and comfort the dying, and toward his mother, through a painting discovered in a Brooklyn art gallery that suggests she may not have been who or what she seemed."Registration for this event is required.

Join us for an unforgettable experience as we chat online with Vanessa Riley about her newest book, Fire Sword and Sea, based on the folk story of the female pirate Jacquotte Delahaye.The Caribbean Sea, 1675. Jacquotte Delahaye is the mixed-race daughter of a wealthy tavern owner on the island of Tortuga. Instead of marriage, Jacquotte dreams of joining the seafarers and smugglers whose tall-masted ships cluster in the turquoise waters around Tortuga. In Haiti she becomes Jacques, a dockworker, earning the respect of those around her while hiding her gender.Jacquotte discovers that secret identities are fairly common in the chaotic world of seafaring, which is full of outsiders and misfits. As Jacques, Jacquotte falls in love with Lizzôa d'Erville, a beautiful courtesan who deals in secrets and sex. While others see their work clothes as a disguise, Lizzôa’s true self is as a woman.For the next twenty years, Jacquotte raids the Caribbean, making enemies and amassing a fortune in stolen gold. When her fellow pirates decide to increase their profits by entering the slave trade, Jacquotte turns away from piracy and the pursuit of riches. Risking her life in one deadly skirmish after another, she instead begins to plot a war of liberation.Don’t miss out on this exciting discussion! Register now to embark on a seafaring journey of self discovery and reclamation of personal power.About the Author: Vanessa Riley is an award-winning author and proud recipient of the 2024 Georgia Mystery/Detective Fiction Author of the Year. She writes Sagas and Book Club Fiction that brings to life the hidden narratives of Black women and women of color in novels like Island Queen and Queen of Exiles. Her stories celebrate strong sisterhoods, diverse communities, and resilience across historical fiction, romance, and mystery genres.Her work has been featured in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, NPR, Publishers Weekly, and The New York Times.Register hereJoin Meeting: https://libraryc.org/buffalolib/107053/register

Come join us to play in a library run Dungeons & Dragons campaign that meets Bi-weekly on Saturdays. No prior knowledge of D&D is required to join, and no regular commitment is required! Registration is required due to limited spots and is limited to adults aged 18 . When you arrive, you will have the option of choosing between two campaigns each time you attend - Ravenloft: Mistwalkers or Candlekeep Chronicles. These sessions are part of ongoing campaigns and are designed for players to be able to drop in and out. Players can bring their own character, following the ruleset below, or use a premade character that we will provide. The ruleset and campaigns are described below. Ruleset: Dungeons & Dragons 2024Character Options: All official D&D 2024 Classes, Species, Feats, and BackgroundsCharacter Stat Distribution: Standard ArrayCharacter Level: 1 Ravenloft: Mistwalkers Genre/Theme(s): Gothic Horror and Dark Fantasy Rudolph Van Richten has long been a beacon of hope amongst the denizens of the Domains of Dread - prison realms within the mists containing untold horrors. Since his disappearance, fear has returned to the hearts of those who must endure the terrors of the mists. Now his closest companions, under the newly formed Van Richten Society, are reaching out to any adventurer willing to help in the crusade against what lurks in the shadows. In this gothic horror campaign you will be recruited to fight ruthless monsters, mysterious cults, evil entities and their masters. Based on the Ravenloft Campaign setting from Dungeons and Dragons, available from the B&ECPL at this link Candlekeep Chronicles Genre/Theme(s): High Fantasy Candlekeep attracts scholars like a flame attracts moths. Historians, sages, and others who crave knowledge flock to this library fortress to peruse its vast collection of books, scribbled into which are the answers to the mysteries that bedevil them. Many of these books contain their own mysteries -- each one a doorway to adventure. Dare you cross that threshold?In this high fantasy campaign, each book you uncover will serve as the key to a door, beyond which danger and glory await.Based on the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting from Dungeons and Dragons

Feminist philosopher Dr. Lindsey Stewart’s book, The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic, tells the stories of Negro Mammies of slavery; the Voodoo Queens and Blues Women of Reconstruction; and the Granny Midwives and textile weavers of the Jim Crow era. These women, in secrecy and subterfuge, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions. Conjure informs our lives in ways remarkable and ordinary—from traditional medicines that informed the creation of Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix, to the original magic of Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023), and the true origins of the all-American classic blue jean.From the moment enslaved Africans first arrived on these shores, conjure was heavily regulated and even outlawed. Now, Stewart uncovers new contours of American history, sourcing letters from the enslaved, dispatches from the lore of Oshun and other African mystics. The Conjuring of America is a love letter to the real magic Black women used, their herbs, food, textiles, song, and dance, used to sow rebellion, freedom, and hope.Join us to take part in the magic and celebrate the legacy of America’s founding Black women. Register for free today!About the Author: Lindsey Stewart is a Black feminist philosopher and an Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of Memphis. She is the author of The Politics of Black Joy. Her work has been featured in Blavity, Signs, Hypatia, and the British Journal for the History of Philosophy, and she holds a 2021 Michael Beaney Prize. She lives in Memphis, Tennessee.
