Civic Behavior From Yesterday—for Today
Join former Oregon Teacher of the Year Lois MacMillan for a three-part series exploring classical virtues and civic responsibilities. Drawing from Jeffrey Rosen’s The Pursuit of Happiness and Richard Haas’ The Bill of Obligations, participants will examine values like temperance, humility, and justice, and the common good. Open to teens and adults, this program blends history and civic engagement to inspire personal and community well-being.
This program is offered at no charge and open to the public. A library card is not needed to participate.
