Reading
Between the Lines (RBTL) is the Council's book discussion
program for adults who want to explore humanities topics in depth.
Each series involves four conversations centered on thematically linked
books and is facilitated by a humanities scholar. Reading Between the Lines is hosted by museums, historical societies, libraries and community centers statewide. Sites that have successfully hosted RBTL are eligible to apply for our Reading and Discussion (R&D) Grants.
