Township Humanities brings university scholarship into our rural public libraries through accessible, professor-led lectures and discussions. Each session is offered by a different humanities or social sciences professor and centered around a short text, which attendees can pick up at the library beforehand. Come to one session or several - explore new ideas and texts in community. Help define what humanities scholarship in 2026 is for!
