The Book: Past, Present and Future @ First United Methodist
Are books-as-physical object going the way of the dinosaur? Or is that an overly alarmist view? Come to First United Methodist Church this Saturday for the lecture "The Book: Past, Present and Future," presented by Anthony Grafton. Grafton is a professor at Princeton, a leading historian of the book, and the author of The Footnote: A Curious History. The lecture is part of the Chicago Humanities Festival. Get tickets here or call (312) 494-9409. First United Methodist Church at the Chicago Temple, 77 W. Washington St., Saturday, March 31 at 2pm. $10; $5 for teacher and students.
