One Book, One Philadelphia Book Discussion of “The Upcycled Self” by Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter

Thu, May 22, 2025 2:00 P.M. Add to your calendar
Nicetown-Tioga Library

Join us for a discussion of the One Book One Philadelphia selection for 2025, The Upcycled Self by Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter, co-founder of The Roots! We’ll talk about Trotters’ life and work as he describes it in the memoir, Philly’s place in his story, and more.

Reading the book beforehand is encouraged but not necessary. Copies will be available at the branch--call or come in and ask a librarian to claim yours. A limited number of giveaway copies will be available in early May.


This program will take place on the library's 2nd floor, which is accessible by stairs.
