SUMMARY:Washington | American Stories: A Reading Road Trip Episode 108
DESCRIPTION:Buckle up and join PBS Books and the Library of Congress as we visit the state of Washington on our next stop in American Stories: A Reading Road Trip. Join us on February 4th at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT for a PBS Books Facebook Live event\, or on the PBS Books YouTube channel\, the PBS app\, or pbs.org. Visit pbsbooks.org/readingroadtrip to learn more. \nJoin us in the Evergreen State to hear about the legacy of writers shaped by their time in the Pacific Northwest—from sci-fi legends like Frank Herbert’s iconic Dune series and Octavia Butler’s speculative Parable of the Sower to more lighthearted tales like Tom Robbins’ satirical novel Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Rediscover powerful classics like the short stories and poems of Raymond Carver (Cathedral) and the fictional reckoning with the Asian American experience during WWII in John Okada’s No-No Boy. \nHear from today’s writers living in Washington’s vibrant literary scene who have a knack for blending genres: Jess Walter’s comedy thriller So Far Gone\, Donna Barba Higuera’s (The Last Cuentista) fusion of Hispanic heritage with science fiction\, and Timothy Egan’s (The Big Burn) riveting narrative nonfictions that retell American history. Alongside them are authors who share stories often left untold\, including Coast Salish writer Sasha taqʷšəblu LaPointe and her memoir Red Paint\, and Frank Abe’s reflections on mass injustice in the propelling graphic novel We Hereby Refuse. \nAmid the mountains and thousands of miles of coastline lies a book lover’s paradise. Washington boasts a thriving independent bookstore scene—with island bookshops and fantastic libraries\, including the Seattle Central Library\, which houses over one million books and doubles as an architectural landmark. But it’s not just brick-and-mortar institutions that inspire travelers; the landscape itself sparks literary imagination. The lush green Hoh Rainforest serves as the stunning backdrop for novels like the Twilight series\, while the rugged peaks and misty shores have long fueled the region’s storytelling tradition. \nEpisode Book ListAbout American Stories: A Reading Road Trip\nPack your curiosity —PBS Books is hitting the road!

SUMMARY:Julia Keefe and the Indigenous Big Band | Penny Stamps Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Resilience and Brilliance in Indigenous Jazz\nFor hundreds of years\, songs have been the vessels for stories\, lessons\, and prayers for the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. One of the newest additions to this world is the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band\, which presented its very first concert in 2022. The band focuses on reimagined traditional melodies made famous by Indigenous jazz musicians from the past\, like singer Mildred Bailey (Coeur d’Alene) and saxophonist Jim Pepper (Kaw/​Mvskoke)\, as well as new works that push the genre forward. \nLed by the celebrated vocalist and luminary Julia Keefe (Nez Percé)\, the ensemble brings charisma\, passion\, and purpose to every stage\, leaving audiences both inspired and educated. The band has quickly gained a reputation for deepening and challenging our understanding of the ​“uniquely American” art form known as jazz. The goals of the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band are to celebrate and continue that tradition\, to compose and perform new music inspired by traditional backgrounds\, and to create a community of like-minded peoples from all backgrounds to uplift the next generation of Indigenous jazz musicians. \nIndigenous jazz musicians\, ensembles\, and big bands have their place in the contemporary jazz world and jazz history. Following 19th-century federal policies to remove Indian children from their homes and indoctrinate them into European culture (Indian Boarding Schools)\, small ensembles and big bands began to flourish on reservations across the US and Canada in the first half of the Twentieth Century. Indigenous musicians started to ascend to celebrity with jazz as their medium – including Russell ​“Big Chief” Moore\, Mildred Bailey\, Oscar Pettiford\, and Jim Pepper – but were never duly credited as Indigenous visionaries in the genre. \nThe Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band reflects a wide range of Indigenous identities\, from South America to Canada\, Northeast to Southwest. Together\, they represent a long-silenced\, long-forgotten chapter of jazz history: the participation\, contribution\, innovation\, and legacy of Indigenous jazz musicians. This is a legacy that seasoned composers and arrangers Julia Keefe and co-founder Delbert Anderson (Diné) carry forward through original works inspired by songs and rhythms of their Native heritage\, reimagined through the language and stylings of jazz. \nPresented in partnership with the University Musical Society\, the talk will be followed by the band’s performance presented by UMS\, beginning at 8 PM. \nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. \nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Filmmaker Talk with Kim A. Snyder\, "The Librarians"
DESCRIPTION:In this timely PBS Books Filmmaker Talk\, award-winning director and producer Kim A. Snyder joins host Heather-Marie Montilla for an in-depth conversation about The Librarians\, the powerful new documentary that examines the growing national debate over access to information and the freedom to read. \nCreated in conjunction with the February 9 premiere of The Librarians on PBS\, the film follows librarians across the United States who find themselves on the frontlines of an escalating struggle over library collections\, intellectual freedom\, and democratic values. During this conversation\, Snyder reflects on the four-year journey behind the film\, from its origins in Texas to its expansion into a national story. \nThe discussion also explores the human dimension of the film: the integrity and courage of librarians\, the communities that stand beside them\, and the broader implications for education\, public life\, and First Amendment rights. Grounded in storytelling rather than partisanship\, The Librarians invites viewers into a necessary conversation about who gets to decide what stories are available—and why that question matters to us all. \nThis PBS Books Filmmaker Talk encourages audiences to reflect\, engage\, and continue the dialogue in their own communities\, libraries\, and classrooms. \nThe Librarians will stream on the PBS App and PBS Stations\, check your local listings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPBS Watch-Alike: Independent Lens | The Librarians\nThe Librarians traces how library collection standards are impacting communities across the U.S. Librarians find themselves on the frontlines of debates as they navigate the review of library materials that includes books with LGBTQIA+ and race-related themes.

SUMMARY:Rick Lowe | Penny Stamps Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:In Spite Of\nRick Lowe is an American artist who pairs paintings\, drawings\, and installations with collaborative\, community-based projects developed in the tradition of Joseph Beuys’ concept of ​“social sculpture.” Working closely with individuals and communities\, he has identified many ways to harness creativity to address concerns around equity and justice. Beginning with his co-founding of Project Row Houses (1993 – 2008) in Houston’s Third Ward and continuing through other initiatives across the United States and internationally\, Lowe aims to catalyze sustainable change to promote understanding\, equity\, and justice. \nIn his studio-based practice\, Lowe combines painting and collage to develop works — often at an expansive scale — that take an exploratory approach to geography and abstraction. Inspired in part by patterns of domino games that he plays to engage with community members worldwide\, he notes correspondences between the dense\, layered arrangements of domino tiles and maps of urban districts. The vibrant paintings that emerge suggest cartographic configurations and transformations of civic structures and relationships over time. \nBorn in Russell County\, Alabama\, Lowe lives and works in Houston. Since 2016\, he has taught at the University of Houston’s College of the Arts as a professor of interdisciplinary practice. Among his many honors\, he received the Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities in 2002\, was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2014\, and was the Roy Lichtenstein Artist in Residence at the American Academy in Rome in 2024. \nLowe has been working as part of the U‑M Arts Initiative’s Creators on Campus program as artist in residence with the Institute for Social Research (ISR) over the last two years\, collaborating with students and researchers in preparation for his upcoming exhibition at UMMA. The exhibition\, featuring his ongoing project\, Black Wall Street Journey\, will open in August 2026. \nPresented in partnership with the Institute for Social Research\, Arts Initiative\, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art. \nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. \nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:U.S. Virgin Islands | American Stories: A Reading Road Trip Episode 109
DESCRIPTION:Join PBS Books and the Library of Congress as we visit the U.S. Virgin Islands in our next stop in American Stories: A Reading Road Trip. Join us on February 18th at 8pm ET for a PBS Books Facebook Live event\, or on the PBS Books YouTube channel\, the PBS app\, or pbs.org. Visit pbsbooks.org/readingroadtrip to learn more. \nJourney to the Caribbean paradise of the U.S. Virgin Islands\, where history drifts on the ocean breeze and stories ripple far beyond the shores. Rooted in generations of oral and written tradition\, these narratives stretch from the formidable youth of Alexander Hamilton\, who would help shape a nation\, to D. Hamilton Jackson\, whose fight for a free press forever changed the islands and founded The Herald. This legacy had endured with voices like Dr. Marilyn Krigger\, (Race Relations in the U.S. Virgin Islands)\, and J. Antonio Jarvis\, founder of the Daily News and author of The Virgin Islands and Their People\, each carrying forward dialogs that continue to define the islands today. \nHear from the writers shaping the U.S. Virgin Islands’ literary present and future. Cadwell Turnbull’s The Lesson uses speculative storytelling to interrogate colonial legacy\, power\, and resilience\, while Tiphanie Yanique\, author of Monster in the Middle\, brings a lyrical intimacy to island life and its complexities. Angela Golden Bryan’s James and the Fireburn preserves and elevates Crucian storytelling traditions\, connecting past and present through story. Discover The Caribbean Writer\, the annual journal that amplifies voices from across the islands and the Caribbean diaspora\, and explore a literary heritage rooted in memory\, imagination\, and the enduring power of the written word. Together\, these works reflect a profound engagement with history\, identity\, and place. \nThe islands may be small\, but their devotion to books\, history\, and cultural memory is immense. Be inspired by statues honoring the Queens of the Fireburn\, whose courage helped ignite a labor revolution that reshaped the islands. Wander streets lined with buildings dating back to the 1500s\, and explore historic landmarks like Fort Christian on St. Thomas—once a bulwark against pirates. Along the way\, step into local bookstores that do far more than sell books; these spaces serve as vibrant cultural hubs\, fostering art\, conversation\, and community while keeping the islands’ stories alive for generations to come. \nAbout American Stories: A Reading Road Trip\nPack your curiosity —PBS Books is hitting the road!
