World Affairs at the Library

World Affairs Discussion Group

World Affairs Discussion Group

Are you fascinated by international affairs and the world of foreign policy? If so, please join Library Director Steve Butzel and a group of your peers on Mondays at 4 PM to discuss World Affairs topics.

This program is offered online at the moment. Click this link to connect via Zoom. Password: 3GWdHC

Questions about connecting? Visit cityofportsmouth.com/library/news/onlineprograms.

If you plan on attending and would like to vote on the week's possible topics, send our Director an email at skbutzel@cityofportsmouth, and he will send you a link to the webpage where you can vote. The list of topics is posted each Wednesday afternoon and voting concludes that Friday afternoon. At that point, the Director will send out an email to the group letting them know the two selected topics, and a list of links to suggested articles.

Where do we get our possible topics and a set of suggested articles from each week? From the World Affairs Council of America's Weekly World News Update webpage.

For more information, contact our director, skbutzel@cityofportsmouth.com.
