READ on the Wild Side with Mark Twain MTL will entertain 9-12 year olds with a program centered on Mark Twain on Wednesday, June 24th at 11 a.m. Warren Brown, an Illinois Humanities Council Road Scholar, will present the program. Mr. Brown is a Mark Twain scholar and has received the Studs Terkel Humanities Service Award for his portrayal of Samuel Clemens.
The program will center on Mark Twain's views on the History of Science. Mark Twain said, "Inventors are the creators of the world - after God." Those attending will journey on water, land and air with insights from the "Diaries of Adam and Eve" to friendships with inventors, and thoughts about Galileo and Newton.
