WHAT'S THE FUTURE OF READING?
We're throwing a literary/publishing/library/books hackathon during the American Library Association conference in San Francisco on June 26-28, 2015.
 
It's called CODEX.

It's going to be epic.

It's a gathering of folks who want to imagine the future of books and reading. Programmers, designers, writers, librarians, publishers, readers.  All are welcome.
