First Wednesdays, a diverse lecture series, draws large audiences. This once-a-month humanities forum brings nationally and regionally renowned speakers to libraries for public lectures on the First Wednesday of each month, October through May.
Topics as varied as World War II, climate change, “Spanglish,” the Founding Fathers and early America, Robert Frost, the ancient Greeks and Romans, stories from the Northeast Kingdom, and King Arthur make First Wednesdays appealing to all.
