Today, the Ohio County Public Library seeks to continue to assist local residents in the pursuit of knowledge and education in order to promote an enlightened citizenry and to enrich their quality of life. As a key element in achieving this goal, the OCPL will offer a second installment in a new series of programs entitled, “The People’s University.” The program will cover the full range of liberal arts and provide an opportunity for adults to learn or refresh their knowledge of art, music, history, government, philosophy, and a variety of other areas of learning. Courses will be free of charge and presenters will be experts in the fields. The first series, A History of Wheeling with Dr. David Javersak was a huge success, and the second series, World Geography, will offer a glimpse at the landscapes, cultures, histories, and economies of the planet's major regions.
