 Discussion Series
Leadership: Biographies of Great Americans
March 9, March 30, and April 27
With a generous grant from the Appleton Library Foundation, the library will be offering a unique discussion series called Leadership: Biographies of Great Americans. We are fortunate that three local leaders, former Appleton Mayor Dorothy Johnson, Tom Fanning, retired Appleton West High School history teacher, and Leon Jensen, retired Appleton lawyer, have agreed to lead the discussions.

All programs will be held from 10:00am to 11:30am in the lower level meeting room of the library. Feel free to attend one or all of the programs. Advance registration is requested.
