Library! at Cal Poly’s Kennedy Library

10/26/2009

 
oct 26 2009
The second location of Library! is at Kennedy Library for Science Café on October 27th. Also in attendance: The Reading Chair.

Science Café is an informal speaker series on scientific topics, led by an expert. The series stimulates discussions in the arts and sciences; encourages open, easy-to-understand conversation exploring scientific topics and interdisciplinary interactions.

The topic for Tuesday, Oct. 27th: Is it still a book?
 This informal discussion will focus on what makes a book a book. Participants can cozy up and test drive a new Kindle or handle beautiful bound books to compare and contrast this idea.
Cal Poly Graphic Communication professors Lorraine Donegan and Ken Macro, along with Cuesta College Fine Arts Professor David Prochaska will lead the discussion that runs from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, at the 2nd floor Café Lounge.

Please join us. Go visit Library!  in the 2nd floor cafe lounge, it will be there all week.

Library! is the second project from Reading In Public 

Library! is an abandoned newspaper rack, repurposed into an informal traveling book and culture exchange which serves as a venue for creative readers who care that reading not become a lost art.

Readers of all ages will be able to find books, sketchbooks, or an actual piece of book art. Each piece will have a library card documenting its travels. When a reader checks a piece out, they’re asked to sign the card and leave those in a box located on top of the rack. Borrowers are encouraged to leave an item for lending. We encourage creative annotation to all the art pieces, and we encourage personal notes in the books left by readers.

Each new location of Library! will be posted at http://www.readinginpublic.com
