Welcome
to the
Friends of the San Diego Public Library
Cory Doctorow Brought to You by The Friends of the San Diego Public Library!
We are celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Friends of the San Diego Public Library during National Library Week
and are pleased to bring internationally best-selling science fiction author, blogger and journalist Cory Doctorow for a special event
on the evening of Thursday, April 11. Doctorow is the author of Little Brother and the forthcoming Radicalized,
among many other books, and is a lifelong supporter of libraries, a digital rights advocate and a proponent of the Creative Commons.
He will be recognizing "libraries as one of the few remnants of a world where people were valued because of their humanity,
not their money, and how that works in the current moment of extreme inequality, epistemological incoherence, and fear of imminent collapse."
This event is free and open to the public; but seating is limited.
To ensure a reserved seat, simply pre-order a copy of Mr. Doctorow's forthcoming book Radicalized from
The Library Shop.
All proceeds support the San Diego Public Library System.
Thursday April 11, 2019 (7:00 PM)
