Bring Frankenstein to your library! The ALA Public Programs Office is now accepting applications for "Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature", a new traveling exhibition. The "Frankenstein" exhibit examines the intent of Mary Shelley's novel, "Frankenstein", and encourages audiences to discuss Shelley's and their own views about personal and societal responsibility as it relates to science and other areas of life.
If your library is interested in hosting the "Frankenstein" exhibition between October 2002 and December 2005, please visit http://www.ala.org/publicprograms/frankenstein/ for more information and to download a grant application and guidelines. Applications must be postmarked by December 14, 2001. In addition to the exhibition, participating libraries will receive interpretive and educational materials that help audiences examine Mary Shelley's novel and how it uses scientific experimentation as a metaphor to comment on cultural values, especially the importance of exercising responsibility toward individuals and the community in all areas of human activity, including science. The exhibition and related materials were developed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) of the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the ALA and funded by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
