President's Program
Three Short Stories about Deep Reading in the Digital Age
You're probably reading this message on a screen-a phone, a tablet, perhaps a laptop. Our burgeoning digital culture has all kinds of effects on us-especially on our brains and how we think and read.
Maryanne Wolf, author of Proust and the Squid: the Story and Science of the Reading Brain, will share three stories to consider:
* the transition from a literary to a digital culture-with its concomitant effects on the changing reading brain
* the beauty and the threats of the digital milieu on the next generation of readers
* the stewardship role played by the library in the preservation of "deep reading" in our culture
Join ALCTS President Mary Page in welcoming Professor Wolf as she shares her stories.
