About the Speaker Series

 

Speaker Series

2008-2009 Schedule

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.
