 Louisville is home to more than 53,000 internationally-born residents, representing countries and communities from all over the globe. In the second year of the event series Celebrating Our Neighborhood, the Louisville Free Public Library, in partnership with Kentucky Refugee Ministries, will celebrate the Iraqi American community, exploring Iraqi history, music, and cuisine through three programs over the next three months.
THE HISTORY OF IRAQ
Saturday, July 13, 2:30 p.m. • Bon Air Library
The region of Iraq, known as Mesopotamia in the ancient world, has an exceptionally long and rich cultural history. In this presentation, Dr. Brad Bowman, Associate Professor & Director of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at U of L, will survey the region’s medieval past, leading up to the modern era, and Iraqi-American activist and physician, Dr. Nadia Rasheed, will share a closer look at current events in Iraq.
THE MUSIC OF IRAQ
Saturday, August 24, 2p.m. • South Central Regional Library
Join us for a musical journey reflecting the diversity of Iraq with an Appalachian twist. Featured musicians will include Kurdish daf percussionist Sanaan Hamza, Iraqi oud artist Esmael Alawadi, and local multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Julia Purcell.
THE CUISINE OF IRAQ
Saturday, September 21, 2 p.m. • Northeast Regional Library
In this program we’ll learn about Iraqi cooking traditions and discover how to make a staple Iraqi dish. There will be a vegetarian friendly option. Space for this session is limited and registration is required.
All Celebrating Our Neighborhood programs are free and open to the public. To learn more and to register for any of the programs, visit LFPL.org/OurNeighborhood, or call (502) 574-1623.

Tips for attending a Pop-Up Drop-Off:
Pop-Up Drop-Off events are extremely popular, and our staff strives to make the drive-through experience as efficient as possible. Here are seven tips for attending a Pop-Up Drop-Off:
-
Do not arrive early! All Pop-Up Drop-Off events start at 10 a.m. A line of vehicles causes traffic backups and prevents our equipment from entering.
-
Only bring sensitive documents to be shredded! The line for shredding is usually the longest. We have seen catalogs, paperback books, etc. being shredded, which is unnecessary and takes up valuable time.
-
Make sure no items are mixed with your documents! We've seen hammers, scissors, and toys mixed in with documents. These contaminants can break the shredding truck's equipment!
-
Try giving away usable items first! We see a LOT of decent items being trashed or recycled at our events. Some residents even offer these items to workers - staff is not allowed to keep items. Please try to donate or give away BEFORE coming to our waste and recycling event.
-
Loads of construction materials, lumber, and loose debris are NOT allowed! Take these loads to the Waste Reduction Center at 636 Meriwether Ave instead. Pop-Up Drop-Off events are very popular - please follow the rules so we can keep the line moving.
-
Separate your loads into the various categories! More can be recycled, and the line moves faster when you are ready to offload your items at each station.
-
Check-in staff will ask for your zip code and which types of items you brought. We track this information so we can keep improving our events. Most residents bring large items, electronics, and documents for shredding. Other categories include metal (or mostly metal) items, tires, yard waste, household recyclables, prescription medication, and shoes.
