Friends of the Bodleian Annual Lecture // Richard Ovenden: Defending Knowledge: Why Libraries Matter
Drawing from his acclaimed book Burning the Books: A History of Knowledge Under Attack, Richard will discuss how libraries, librarians, and archivists bear the profound responsibility of preserving and transparently sharing information, and their critical role in safeguarding knowledge for future generations.
“Why are books destroyed? It’s about control—controlling knowledge to control societies, to control the way people behave, the way people think, the way people spend money.” – Richard Ovenden

This Single Power Will Save Our Future (And The School System Ignores It) | Sir Ken Robinson
Nobody predicted the world we live in today, and nobody can predict the next one.
We are no longer dealing with business as usual. Imagination is the exact power that carried humanity from caves to conference halls, and from eating carrion to cuisine. It has driven every single masterpiece, scientific breakthrough, and leap forward in human history.
Sir Ken Robinson believed this isn’t a talent reserved for the few—it is a natural human power inside every single one of us. Yet, our current systems continue to diminish it instead of making it flourish. Cultivating this gift systematically in our schools, our businesses, and our communities is the defining challenge of our generation.
Share this if you believe it’s time to change how we value creativity.
