Exhibit/Lectures at Eastern

This fall Eastern Illinois’ Booth Library is exhibiting “Frankenstein:
Penetrating the Secrets of Nature” from Oct 17-Nov 20. This traveling library exhibit “encourages audiences to examine the intent of Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, and to discuss Shelley's and their own views about personal and societal responsibility as it relates to science and other areas of life."

In addition, Booth Library will host a series of lectures on Tues/Thurs at 4:00, a film series on Wed evenings and other events. Some of the lectures include:
“The Art of Monsters: Sound Effects of Frankenstein Films”
“When Food Becomes a Monster”
“The Marketing of Fear”
“History of Organ Transplants”
“Fate of the Unmentionables: What Happens to Waste?”
“Why We Feel Sympathy for the Monster”
“Frankenstein and Latin America”

Booth Library will soon have a web site with complete information. For more on the traveling library exhibit, visit the American Library Association's website.
