Join the Rathbun Branch Library for a free screening of Inventing Tomorrow as part of Kern County's One Book Project. The One Book Project is a county-wide (Kern) effort to provide a shared community experience through the reading of a single book. This year the project has been expanded to include several books for adults, as well as options for teens and children, all connected by a theme. This year's selections explore innovative efforts in science and engineering by those striving to make the world a better place.
