Why is it that on the internet the best information is often locked behind paywalls?
Brewster Kahle, founder of The Internet Archive, believes it’s time to turn that scarcity model upside down and build an internet based on abundance. We will share our new project — Democracy’s Library. Why? Because democracies need an educated citizenry to thrive.
Covid-19 Policy:
The event will have both indoor and outdoor activities. The Internet Archive follows the mask guidelines from the CDPH . "Masks are strongly recommended for all persons, regardless of vaccine status, in indoor public settings."
Masks will be provided on site to anyone who needs one.
