Library Hosts 2nd Annual
Lake Forest Literary Festival
Lake Forest Literary Festival
Scope of the kaleidoscope of events
April 5 - 7 of this year, Level 2 of the Donnelley and Lee Library was transformed into "performance spaces" using "inventive and creative configurations" for activities such as shadow plays with screens. Davis Schneiderman, director of the the 2nd Annual Lake Forest Literary Festival, noted that 110 participants came from off-campus and were appropriately impressed with the ambience and technology of the Library's space, which reflected very positively on the College as a whole. An exponentially larger event than was held last year, the footprint for this year's program increased at least four-fold, expanding from one room on the Lower Level of the Library last year, to four classrooms and hallways on the bright upper level. This occurred primarily because this year's event enfolded Notre Dame University's own second literary festival, &Now, which also seeks to "showcase contemporary conceptual art."
Two months previously, the planning began with Tom and Karen, continuing with almost daily communications regarding 16mm projectors, data projectors, duel projectors, slide projectors, DVD and VHS players, Karaoke equipment, microphones, extra speakers, boom boxes, laptops, channel speakers, and a portable PDA system with Flash, Java, QuickTime, Shockwave and Internet access for simultaneous presentations in different locations over the three days. Karen, together with Ray Closs, Media Services Assistant, oversaw 20 student employees who assisted with this massive outlay of technology resources.
