September 1, 2010 -- DINNER: The Future of Books, a panel discussion
The Sept. 1 dinner program will honor the 100th birthday in September of Sally Norris Craig, a City Club founding member and a retired librarian. She is a regular attendee and will be honored at this program.
Author Tom Llewellyn will lead a panel of speakers to address a variety of questions about the future of books. How, physically, will people read books in the future? Will technology "unbind" books, as it has unbundled other media, such as music albums? Will reading habits change as a result? What happens when books are interlinked? And what is a book anyway?
Panelists
Tom Llewellyn, moderator and author
sweet pea Flaherty, bookseller
Neel Parikh, Executive Director of the Pierce County Library System
Kate Rogers, Editor-in-chief of The Mountaineers Books/Skipstone
Sheryn Hana, Book Publishers Network
