Finding a Voice Reading & Discussion Series

Throughout history women have been silenced by the patriarchal system. Explore the ways in which female writers have found their voice during “Finding a Voice,” a reading and discussion series at Seymour Library, sponsored by Humanities New York. Dr. Maryanne Felter will facilitate the discussion in this six part series that will focus on women’s creativity in art, literature, and theater. An introductory meeting will be held Tuesday, September 4 at 4 pm.

Civics @ Seymour

Thanks to a grant from the Fred M. Everett and Ora H. Everett Charitable Trust, Seymour Library is offering a civic literacy series with the goal of engaging the community in a conversation about civics by providing access to information on how government works, locally, federally and historically. Civic literacy is not only about obtaining the basic knowledge of how government works but, taking a step further and applying that knowledge to everyday life and using it to discuss and shape the change that you want to see in your community. Discover more about the civic literacy events coming soon to Seymour Library!
