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.
The diverse topics of First Wednesdays offer something for everyone: from Hamlet to the National Parks, herbal medicine to the New England Town Meeting, political power and art to Rock ’n’ Roll, Afghanistan and Iran to poetry’s spiritual language, First Wednesdays brings a world of ideas into Vermont’s communities.
First Wednesdays takes place at nine host sites around the state. They include Brattleboro, Burlington, Manchester, Middlebury, Montpelier, Norwich, Rutland, St. Johnsbury, and Newport/Stanstead, Québec.
