Our Learning Circles model helps you study a topic of interest in-depth with other people from your community. Each seven-week Learning Circle focuses on a single topic. The group takes an online course together and then meets regularly to discuss what they’ve learned and to help one another. We limit each Learning Circle to patrons who will commit to the full seven weeks. Register now to reserve your spot.
