All-
The Ft. Lauderdale Public Library's Center for the Book and AUE will be holding a Bluewater Adventure Series symposium on December 3, 2005, at the Ft. Lauderdale Public Library (Main Branch). The symposium will focus on a theme of underwater exploration, in conjunction with an exclusive exhibit on Jules Verne and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
The Ft. Lauderdale Public Library will be the only U.S. library hosting this unique French exhibit, which celebrates the centennial of the noted author.
While a full lineup of speakers has not been finalized, I can let you know that Richie Kohler and John Chatterton will both be present as 'headliners' and giving an entertaining presentation on "Shadow Divers."
This symposium will occur amidst the innagural Florida Dive Show in West Palm Beach, December 2-4, but should complement the dive-related activities in South Florida that weekend. The Bluewater Adventure Series symposium is free and open to the public.
Aside from the speakers and Jules Verne exhibit, there will be other displays (e.g., ROVs and other underwater exploration tools) at the library.
Please mark this event on your calendar, and we look forward to seeing everyone there!
I will update the list as new speakers are confirmed.
Cheers,
Mike
