Strathmore Speaker Series

The Strathmore Speaker Series is a platform for recognized experts from a wide range of disciplines to share the power of their ideas with the community through intellectually stimulating, thought provoking, and enlightening conversations on the arts, literature, politics, history, the environment, science, philosophy, theology, and business.

Onondaga Free Library is proud to be partnering with the Strathmore Speakers to bring this engaging content to you, our patrons. Recordings of previous Strathmore Speaker-OFL events can be found below.
