March Library Show

Livermore Reads Together Art Show - The Future Is Now - Livermore Library - See the Library Website for Hours

March 1-31, 2025

This year’s Livermore Reads Together explores the captivating world of Artificial Intelligence and Technology, inspired by the featured book The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. While the book’s narrative highlights robotics and AI, it also delves into the profound intersection of nature and technology, exploring themes of coexistence, adaptation, and how innovation shapes our world. Art and technology share a unique synergy, reflecting the connection between human creativity and technological advancement. From the way innovation sparks artistic expression to how art influences our understanding of technology, their interplay offers endless inspiration.

In partnership  with Livermore Reads Together, and inspired by The Wild Robot by Peter Brown, the theme is coexistence of nature & technology, robotics & AI, innovation & art. See Here for more info on the LAA website.
