The Friends of Snow Library's fall Lifetime Learning session continues next week with a class on World Religions: How Are They the Same and How Are They Different? Led by Steven Kepnes, a world religions professor and author, the two-part course begins on Monday, Nov. 10 from 10:30 a.m. to noon and attempts to discern what world religions have in common, where they diverge, and what impact they have on our world.
A course on “Folktales and Fairytales: The Stories That Shaped Us” leads the next round of Lifetime Learning programs offered by the Friends of Snow Library. On Monday, Nov. 3, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., scholar Mike McCartney delves into Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel, Hansel & Gretel and other well-known tales, shedding light on how they evolved and helping us understand the significance of some key character types. The course continues on Nov. 10 and concludes on Nov. 17 when the cast and crew of the Academy Playhouse’s Into the Woods will contribute their talents to the discussion.
