Join the Palos Verdes Library District for a presentation by Dr. Phil Borden, “Shaku Maku:  A "Streetwise" View of Business in Iraq, Saturday, June 7 at 2pm in the Peninsula Center Library Community Room.Shaku Maku describes the author's efforts to create small business development center in Baghdad at the height of the violence there.  Surprisingly, Borden portrays his experiences in a humorous, satiric style, a voice that is both literary and laced with irony.  Stories about his adventures and Shaku Maku have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Business Week, Entrepreneur Magazine, Peninsula News, and more.  For more information, visit www.shakumaku-phil.blogspot.com, or www.outskirtspress.com/philborden.

Borden who is a Peninsula resident, educator, and visionary, promises an insightful and interesting program.
