On Wednesday, September 6th join writer/carver/painter Tim Brookes for a presentation beginning at 6:30 pm (not 7 pm, as previously posted) on Endangered Alphabets, Cultural Erosion, and the Future of the Written Word. What does the age of digital convergence, Facebook, and globalization mean for the future of the written word? Tim Brookes offers remarkable and thought-provoking perspective on this question by looking at a range of forms of writing from all over the world that are in danger of extinction. For background on his work, you can explore his website http://www.endangeredalphabets.com/

The program is free, and supported both by the Brookfield Free Public Library and the Vermont Humanities Council as part of their Speakers Bureau program.
