WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The David & Joyce Milne Public Library in Williamstown will host a unique series of programs called “Verne & Wells: Men Before Their Time”. Five nights of Sci-Fi Fun and learning.
The opening night on June 24th at 6:30 will present a new exhibit of 3 dimensional models and images from 8 books, including War of the Worlds, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Paris in the 20th Century and The Time Machine. These 3 dimensional displays will illuminate images and also recreate scenes from these books. Enjoy free refreshments while experiencing the display. Following is a media lecture on the two men, their lives, styles and imaginations. There will also be 4 exciting lectures on the four named books to continue into Wednesday nights in July.
Jules Verne and H.G. Wells will take the spotlight for all of these programs that will combine their science fiction and speculations that predicted many of the modern conveniences, travel and warfare that we know today. Lectures, readings from their famous books, and also media presentations will bring back the sci-fi that several films were adapted from.
Robert Campanile from the Center for Science and Cultural Literacy will be the creator and lecturer for this exciting series.
All of the dates, programs and locations are available on the library’s website at www.milnelibrary.org.
