Vermont Humanities 2022-23 season of First Wednesdays lectures continues at Brooks Memorial Library, 224 Main St. in Brattleboro, November 2 at 7 pm.

Graphic novelist Marek Bennett will present Drawing Community: Creating Comics from Shared Stories. Using examples from his work with the Vermont Reads 2022 book The Most Costly Journey (El Viaje Más Caro) and his Civil War Diary of Freeman Colby series, the cartoonist explores how the act of cartooning can help us forge connections, build empathy, and challenge set definitions of identity and belonging.

The program is free and open to the public and is accessible to people in wheelchairs. For more information visit www.brookslibraryvt.org or call (802)254-5290.
