Seminar Series for Adults

The Key School Seminar Series for Adults is modeled after seminar classes taught at Key. The series seeks to engage adults from the surrounding community in spirited intellectual conversations about great novels, poems, films, and more.

Tales of Books, Libraries and Learning

Join us for a thought-provoking seminar series that explores the rich worlds of literature, libraries and the transformative power of knowledge. Through a combination of short stories and films, we will delve into themes of intellectual freedom, the preservation of culture, and the profound influence of books and education on society.
