Wisdom at Work

"I'm a custodian, okay. What do you know about a custodian? A custodian cleans restrooms."

"Sometimes I'll talk to people and they don't even look at me."

The Philosopher Kings is a 2009 documentary about the custodians who work in some of America's most prestigious universities and the wisdom and experience gained from work behind-the-scenes.

The Philosopher Kings screening and discussion on January 5 in Goodland is just one of many The Way We Worked events happening this month in Kansas. On January 12, the life of the modern-day cowboy will be the topic at the screening and discussion of Gathering Remnants in Goodland; on January 15, the Kansas Reads one book, one state discussion of Then We Came to the End starts in Sabetha, and The Way We Worked in Kansas

exhibits are on display in Burlingame, Eudora, Glasco, Newton, Sabetha, and WaKeeney.
