K-State Libraries Lecture Series
The Libraries Lecture Series seeks to engage the campus and Manhattan community with the Libraries through discussions on topics relevant to learning and research.
Each event features a campus or community leader and offers the opportunity for attendees to ask questions and engage with others. Some sessions offer panel discussions and interactions.
