Through the California Center for the Book, the California State Library partnered this past fall with PBS to promote the Ken Burns documentary, The War. Now that the series has aired, the California State Library and the Center for the Book will be hosting a public conversation and videoconference with Ken Burns at five California libraries to discuss the making of this documentary. The videoconference will take place on Thursday evening, November 8th from 6:00-7:30 p.m. at the libraries listed below. This evening will also be available for later viewing via webcast on www.calbook.org.
