<p class="MsoPlainText">At 6 p.m. ET, Monday June 8th, Knight Foundation will be livestreaming a conversation (<a href="http://knightfoundation.org/live/">http://knightfoundation.org/live/</a>) with author and thought leader John Palfrey on ways to rethink
libraries in the digital age, based on his new book Bibliotech.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">As you may know, Palfrey makes a compelling argument that libraries matter even more in the age of Google. Our complex world of ever-evolving information sources requires more guides, guidance and curators than ever, he argues. In addition,
libraries offer a space to connect people to ideas and opportunities, providing a solution to the challenging issues of unequal access to education, jobs and information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I was hoping you could share this information with your staff, patrons or community. It will be streamed beginning at 6 p.m. EST on June 8th at kngihtfoundation.org/live (<a href="http://knightfoundation.org/live/">http://knightfoundation.org/live/</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Thanks for your help in spreading the word and I hope you are able to watch the event this coming Monday.<o:p></o:p></p>
