The Donald W. Reynolds Library serving Baxter County will host a lecture series aiming to educate local citizens on the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution: Foundation & Hope of the American Republic, 1787 to present, will begin Feb. 5 from 1-3 and will run for eight consecutive weeks. Classes will be led by Professor Jim Carroll and produced by Peter Guiliano, a former television and film producer.
