Literature
for a Lifetime
offers adults throughout the state an opportunity
to come together to
discuss great books, share ideas and opinions and
explore the many
relationships between life and literature.
Literature
for a Lifetime
discussions combine a group of related readings
with four, 90 minute
discussion sessions spaced two or three weeks apart
depending on the
length and difficulty of the readings. A humanities scholar
leads each
series.
Each program in the
series builds on the last, and
the scholar provides continuity
and focus, as well as
expert guidance,
throughout the series.
