Barbara Ehrenreich at Seattle Public Library Thursday (7/17)
NWjobs
The hilarious and brilliant Barbara Ehrenreich will be speaking in Seattle this Thursday, July 17, at 7 p.m. to promote her new book, This Land Is Their Land: Reports from a Divided Nation. The event will take place in the Microsoft Auditorium at the Seattle Public Central Library on 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison and Spring).
A long-time champion of us working stiffs, Ehrenreich is known for examining the work/life balance and economic woes of the overworked, underpaid, and unemployed. (See Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream and Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America, two of her previous books, to see what I mean.)
The event is free, and admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis (no tickets available). Special $5 parking coupons are available for the Central Library garage on a limited basis for those attending the program. For more information, call Elliott Bay Book Company, the event's co-sponsor, at (206) 624-6600 or the library at (206) 386-4636. Or see visit the library website.
