This book discussion group has been examining works by women for the past 2-3 years. They have explored authors such as Amy Tan, Barbara Pym, Maya Angelou, Maxine Hong Kingston and various other inspired females. The group tries to pick books that are already in paperback and are readily available at the Knight Library, through Orbis, or at local libraries and used bookstores. Members meet after they have all finished reading, and the individual who selected the book facilitates a discussion about it. This group provides an opportunity to read fascinating works by women that one might not have discovered independently.

Lonely on a Thursday afternoon? Meet up with some of your coworkers!

Several people meet every Thursday at noon at the honeysuckle arches in front of Knight Library and venture out to one of the *fine* dining establishments near the university. The group is entirely social, providing a chance to talk about gardens, families, hobbies, or any other topic except work! They would love for more people to join them - librarians, staff and students are all invited! If the day, time, or meeting place are problematic they can easily be changed. This is a great opportunity to get to know your colleagues outside of their work environment!

New members are welcome!
