The Library is thrilled to welcome back 2006 Santa Monica Citywide Reads author Jonathan Safran Foer, who will be discussing his provocative new book, EATING ANIMALS. On the brink of fatherhood and facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a child's behalf, this on-again/off-again vegetarian began to exp...lore why we eat animals and would we continue to do so if we knew how they got onto our dinner plates? This special evening event is free, but seating is limited and on a first arrival basis. Tickets will be released at 6:00 pm the night of the event and early arrival is recommended. Guests must be on hand to receive a ticket. On site book sales will be provided courtesy of Barnes & Noble.Read More
