6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. 90 mins Lillian H. Smith In this lecture, Lefebvre will discuss how the text of L.M. Montgomery's first and most famous book, "Anne of Green Gables", has largely stayed the same since it was published in 1908. But everything else-from cover designs to the technologies people use to read and discuss books-has changed immeasurably since then. In this lecture, novelist and scholar Benjamin Lefebvre shares some of the discoveries he has made throughout his many years as a Montgomery scholar and offers new insights about this perennially popular book, how it fits within Montgomery's lifetime body of work, and how it continues to be reprinted today.

6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. 90 mins Lillian H. Smith In October's lecture the Fan Brothers will discuss their creative process, from initial inspiration, to working on the final book. Their latest book, "Barnaby Unboxed!", is Terry and Eric's fifth book as both writers and artists, and Devin's second book. Over the course of making those books, a pattern emerged as to how they approach the creative process. Every writer and artist faces the same challenge when confronted with the blank page. Where do stories and ideas come from? As three brothers, working collectively, that challenge comes with its own unique set of hurdles, and also benefits. Sometimes, it turns out, three heads are better than one. For more infomation, please click here Photo credit: Michelle Quance Pantazzi Lecture: Thursday, October 3, 6:30 to 7:30
