In Design For Your Mind, you will learn... - how to go bold and take chances without making choices you'll regret; - the tricks to make even a small room feel spacious, so you’ll breathe deeply and feel free when you walk into it; - how to use modern furnishings and your favorite heirlooms to create a space that looks powerful and pulled-together; - how to design a room that feels both stimulating and comforting, so you can read and work in it without feeling agitated or bored; - how a cluttered environment affects the ability to focus and heightens anxiety, along with simple solutions for reducing clutter; - how to use each room in your home to serve your needs for sleep, good nutrition, regular aerobic exercise, and social support. You’ll learn why meeting each of these needs is essential to your mental and physical health. *This is a virtual event held on Zoom. You can join from any place!

Join us in a discussion about Pittsburgh's industrial history as we celebrate 125 years of Oakmont Carnegie Library. More than 133 years after it occurred, the Homestead Strike of 1892 retains its capacity to shock. It was a defining event which revealed in the starkest terms the respective strength of labor and management in America in the 1890s. The crushing defeat of the workers meant that there would be no recognized trade unionism and collective bargaining in steel and other heavy industries until the 1930s. Jerry Fitzgibbon is a volunteer with Rivers of Steel and leads docent tours of the Bost Building (the labor headquarters in 1892) and the Pump House (site of the Battle). He has made many presentations about The Battle to various libraries and historical societies and has done programs for high school and college classes at the Pump House.
