| The Newberry Library holds two of its annual traditions today. A vast book fair, with around 100,000 books for sale, is held in the library building itself at 60 W Walton Street, and just across the road are Bughouse Square Debates, in Washington Square Park, Chicago's celebration of free speech. Join the crowd hurrahing and heckling, or grab your soapbox and get something off your chest. | |||
