NH Humanitics Council speakers to Merrimack Public Library?

Merrimack & nearby folks: I'll be writing a grant to get three speakers from the NH Humanities Council to come to the Merrimack Public Library in 2014.

Take a look at the speaker list to see if there are any you'd love to see. The PDF is available on this page: http://nhhc.org/humanities-to-go-intro.php

Here is the list I've put together in rough priority order: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/966718/FriendsMPL/nhhc-grant.html
