If the distinctive tapping of typewriter keys is music to your ears, consider stepping back in time during Susan Rigby’s Type-In, September 18, at the Wimberley Village Library.
A marvel of the mechanical age, typewriters were complex instruments of levers, springs and gears that moved non-oral communication from handwritten documents to printed words on a page. The layout of its keys was the blueprint for the keyboards of personal computers that ushered in the electronic age.
The Type-In will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is free to attend but visitors are asked to bring a canned good to bolster the pantiy at Crisis Bread Basket. Participants can sign up to win a genuine vintage typewriter or a type-art print of Ernest Hemingway.
