Civic Reads at Fletcher Free Library
​Civic Reads is designed to bring our community into deeper conversation around the issues shaping Burlington’s future, fostering dialogue, connection, and civic imagination. Each program is inspired by a timely book that asks what it takes to sustain a healthy democracy and effective government.
​
This fall, the Friends of the Fletcher Free Library--together with Champlain College and the University of Vermont--invites the community to two Civic Reads events. Registration is required, please visit www.fletcherfree.org/CivicReads.
