If you are interested in what is happening in the world around us but feel you may not have the time to keep up on things, or the background to understand the context, HMPL's new monthly The Wider World program is just what you have been looking for.  

Our Adult Program Coordinator, Diane Chido, invites you to share her love of global affairs in this seminar series. Participants will receive a short reading in advance to help prepare for each session of facilitated discussion on each topic.

The April discussion topic is "What's In a Name?" a review of significant country and city name changes and their reasons and implications. The article can be found here: 2025 APR What's in a Name.pdf 

Due to the Youth Art Show the same night, this group will meet at the table in the stacks near the Biography section.
