At 8 pm on Friday, Nov. 14th we will be screening a one-hour documentary film, Paperback Dreams, at the Carnegie Center for Art and Histoy, 210 E. Spring St., in New Albany.
Paperback Dreams tells the tale of two landmark independent booksellers and their struggle to survive. Cody’s and Kepler’s books helped launch a counter-culture, and for 50 years have protected free speech and celebrated intellectual inquiry. At one time or another, the owners of these stores were harassed, vandalized, threatened, and even suffered acts of terrorism for simply selling books. But their future is uncertain in our fast digital world.
Our co-sponsors for this event are New Albany’s Urban Enterprise Association, Carmichael’s Bookstore and A Reader’s Corner.
Before the film, enjoy a reception at the Carnegie Center for artists Mary Lou Hess and Carol Brenner Tobe. There will be appetizers and music by the Jamey Aebersold Jass Quartet along with the art from 6 – 8 pm.
