Eventos de Humanidades
Nuestro programa de humanidades invita a autores reconocidos a nivel nacional y a académicos de primera clase a que visiten nuestras bibliotecas a través de eventos que se centran en la música, el arte, la historia local, la religión, la literatura y la cultura.
A menudo los programas se desarrollan en colaboración con nuestras numerosas organizaciones locales de arte y humanidades, organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro y otras instituciones.
Los programas de humanidades son financiados por la Durham Library Foundation.
