Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle

Founded in 1878, the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle opened the doors of college-style learning to readers who could not attend college. Nearly 150 years later, it continues to bring books, authors, and curious minds together through reading, discussion, and lifelong education.

About the author

The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (CLSC) was established by Bishop John Heyl Vincent as a four-year correspondence course designed to make broad literary, scientific, and historical study more accessible. Local reading circles helped members share the cost of books and encourage one another, allowing the program to reach communities across the United States and beyond.

Today, the CLSC remains part of Chautauqua Institution in New York. Each summer, it selects at least nine books of literary quality and invites their authors to speak with readers, continuing its long tradition of thoughtful discussion and accessible adult education.
