Humanities Book Discussions with our Scholar-in-Residence

Join our monthly book discussion with our Humanities Scholar-in-Residence, Dr. Carrie Brown.

Each month, Dr. Brown will facilitate our discussion on a title related to the theme of TRANSITIONS and how we, as humans, transition through life and define ourselves along these journeys. She will engage us in a more critical reading of our texts, exploring language, structure, and character development. Visit our Event calendar or call the library to learn this month's title.

Carrie Brown holds a Ph.D. in American Literature and Folklore from the University of Virginia. Working for more than thirty years as freelance history curator, she has developed exhibitions for museums, visitors' centers, and historic sites on a wide range of topics, including industrial history, transportation, and the Civil War. As a curator and speaker, Carrie delights in finding and telling stories about the connections between big historic events and our everyday lives. As a book group facilitator, Carrie guides readers through stories told by others--whether in fiction or nonfiction--exploring how the depth and breadth of human experience can be communicated through the written word.

This program is free and open to the public, but space is limited and registration is required.
