Library sponsoring program on
Islamic civilization and identity

As part of its "Wake the Dream" program, the human resources section at the Library will sponsor the program, "Islamic Civilization and Muslim Identity," on Tuesday, Feb. 19, noon-2 p.m,. in the Sterling Memorial Lecture Hall, 130 Wall St.

The talk, which will be delivered by Imam Zaid Shakir, religious leader of Masjid al-Islam, a New Haven-based Islamic Mosque, will be preceded by the short video, "Religions of the World: Islam." The video will provide an overview of the world's fastest growing religion, including its history and teachings of the Prophet Mohammed, its practice, the art, architecture and science of Islam.

A question-and-answer session will follow the lecture. Attendees will have an opportunity to have their name written in Arabic calligraphy. An informational exhibit will also be on display.

This program is free and open to all interested members of the University and New Haven communities. Attendees are invited to bring a brown-bag lunch. Light refreshments will be provided.
