Originally founded as the Library Book
Club in 2000 by the University Libraries, it changed it's
name to
Library Speaker Series in 2005. It's aim is
to involve current Loyolans, alumni, and other Chicagoans
in
stimulating conversations about recently published works.
Speakers include Loyola faculty and alumni,
prominent
Chicago authors,
and other special guests. The 2008-2009 presentations
include a discussion
of the highlights and low blows of
the 2008 elections; a look at the Cook County's Public
Defender's
Office;
an O. Henry Award winner, and a mystery novel.
The Library Speaker Series would like to showcase the
talents of our fellow Loyolans. If you would like to
be
considered for a future talk, please let us know by emailing
cfrankl@luc.edu.
For more information and to be added to
the e-mail list, which provides updates to the events'
schedule
throughout
the year, contact Cathy Miesse at cmiesse@luc.edu or (773)
508-2674
Please join us for these sessions even if you haven't read the books. We promise a rewarding time that will enlighten and fascinate you.
