This October, the North Olympic Library System, in partnership with the Clallam County League of Women Voters and Humanities Washington, invites community members to examine the impacts of political incivility in America with Dr. Cornell Clayton, a lecturer with the 2015 Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau.

Clayton will lead this free conversation at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29, at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave., and again at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.

Does political incivility threaten American democracy? Is there a correlation between political incivility and productivity? In his discussion of these questions, Clayton will chart the political changes that have taken place in the past 30 years.
