Rachel Carson live!

Rachel Carson, a key figure in the history of the environmental movement because of the wake-up call she issued in her 1963 book Silent Spring, will be live at the Brookings Public Library on Monday, September 13. Join us for an interview with Eric Sevareid as it would have been in 1963 as Carson battled giant chemical companies who were frantically creating public relations weapons to hurl at the painstaking scientist they labeled “hysterical.”

Carson will be portrayed by Ann Birney of Ride into History.

The program will be proceded by the Friends of the Library annual meeting.
