Verified Reading Group with Milwaukee Public Library

October 15 | 6:00 pm 7:00 pm

Join Milwaukee Public Library librarians at the Center for 21st Century Studies for a small-group discussion of Verified: How to Think Straight, Get Duped Less, and Make Better Decisions About What to Believe Online by Mike Caulfield & Sam Wineburg. Learn how to identify red flags, get quick context and understand the strengths and drawbacks of information sources like Google and Wikipedia.  

Register to attend one of the five sessions using the MPL calendar of events at mpl.org/calendar and receive a free copy of the book (while supplies last).  

Don’t think you’ll have enough time to finish the book? Register anyway, we’re excited to have you join us. This is a great opportunity to delve into these critical topics, exchange ideas, and engage in thoughtful conversation.  

This event is free and open to the public.

Registration begins August 26.
