When: THIS SATURDAY - Oct 2, 4:00pm
Where: Meeting House, The First Church (corner of Main and Lorain Streets)
No, we won't be burning actual books.
But participants will be invited to create a facsimile of a favorite book to burn in the fire, to dramatize the effects of book burning, suppression of information and the silencing of intellectual discourse in any society. The burning may take place off-site, given that we have moved the even to our rain location in light of the rain and wind forecast for Saturday.
Free books to the first 125 participants.
Speakers: Readings from Fahrenheit 451 by President Krislov, Oberlin City Manager Eric Norenberg, and Oberlin City Schools Superintendent Geoffrey Andrews; Remarks from Molly Raphael, '67, ALA President-Elect.
Rain location: Meeting House, The First Church, corner of Main and Lorain Streets.
