LIRA operates on a two-semester plan during the spring and fall. A selection of study groups that usually meet for two hours, mornings or afternoons, are offered. Generally the semesters run eight weeks. Members may participate in as many courses as desired. Trips, outings to museums, concerts, plays, and sites of interest are common features of study groups. In the winter and summer between semesters, intersession programs are offeၼred on Wednesdays only. A different topic is explored each week.
