C-Span's Book TV will be stopping by Faulk Central Library this Saturday to offer tours of their nifty production-studio-within-a-bus and to interview local nonfiction authors in said bus. UT Prof Evan B. Carton, author of Patriotic Treason: John Brown and the Soul of America, will be interviewed at 3:30pm, and poet/activist Raul Salinas (most recently author of My Weapon Is My Pen: Raul Salinas and the Jail Machine) will be interviewed at 4:15pm.

This is an opportunity to learn more about C-SPAN's Book TV weekend block, as well as a chance to visit a traveling studio set and see how a show gets produced. You know you needed to go by the library this weekend anyway.
