“Definitive…Not just for Talking Heads fans—it’s a masterful dive into downtown New York in the 70s, and the changing face of rock music.”—Town & Country
“Riveting”—New York Post
“A masterful achievement.” —Booklist (starred review)
On the 50th anniversary of Talking Heads, acclaimed music biographer Jonathan Gould presents the long-overdue, definitive story of this singular band, capturing the gritty energy of 1970s New York City and showing how a group of art students brought fringe culture to rock’s mainstream, forever changing the look and sound of popular music.
Join us in the Makerspace on Tuesday, February 17 at 7 p.m. for an in-depth discussion of Burning Down the House: Talking Heads & the New York Scene that Transformed Rock by Jonathan Gould.

This winter, University City Public Library will be offering a free, interactive, 8-week course in the Art of Communication and Leadership taught by a member of Toastmasters International, a public speaking organization.
We all want to learn how to be better communicators. In this course, our Youth Leaders will become more comfortable using new ways of communicating. Each participant will learn to give perspective, feedback and encouragement in a supportive environment. If something doesn’t work, Youth Leaders will be encouraged to try a new approach.
Every participant will be given a variety of roles and assignments, culminating in a celebration of their growth the final week. The opportunities for everyone to grow are endless!
Advance Registration is Required. The minimum size for the class is 10 participants.
