Reading In Public joins with Kennedy Library Science Café to bring you "Day of the Book" at Cal Poly

On October 27th, we're joining with Reading In Public (www.readinginpublic.com) and declaring "Day of the Book" at Cal Poly. Look for the reading chair to appear around campus, and stop for a while to listen to a book read aloud. By the start of the Science Café, at 4:30 p.m., the chair will be up at the 2nd floor Café Lounge for all to see.
Also to be included in the October 27th event is Library, another Reading in Public project, which has just launched in San Luis Obispo. This re-purposed newspaper rack, labeled "Library" is now billed as an "informal traveling book and culture exchange," where you can borrow a book or art piece or contribute a book or art piece. Read more about these projects and see photos from their recent events at www.readinginpublic.com.
See you on October 27th at Cal Poly!

October 27, 2009 Science Café topic, "Is it Still a Book?"

Join us on October 27th to launch the 2009 - 2010 Science Café at Cal Poly's Kennedy Library. The 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 Communications professors Lorraine Donegan and Ken Macro, along with Cuesta College Fine Arts faculty David Prochaska will lead the discussion that runs from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, at the 2nd floor Café Lounge.
