Sean Bird, associate dean of Mabee Library, will lead a discussion on “The River of Doubt” by Candice Millard at 7 p.m. Sept. 6 in Mabee Library.

“The River of Doubt” is Washburn University’s 2017-2018 iREAD book. The Washburn iREAD program’s mission is to foster interdisciplinary connections and campus involvement, along with reading and discussion skills, through a common reading experience for students.

“The River of Doubt” is a biographical account of Theodore Roosevelt’s expedition through the Amazon Rainforest with Brazilian military officer and explorer, Candido Rondon, in 1913.

An iREAD lecture is scheduled for Sept. 12 in White Concert Hall, for which tickets are available at Mabee Library and Topeka Shawnee County Public Library.
