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.
