1. Short Story discussion in the early afternoon that met in the small art studio was to study a short story.
Two discussion leaders (Esther and Christie) took turns reading Guy de Maupassant's short story entitled "The Necklace." A couple of us knew about the story, me and another participant. It had been part of my English studies (in high school, I think, though it may have been in college for my first degree). If you are not familiar with the story, you can read it HERE. I am a visual person, so I would have preferred to have a copy of the story so I could read along. I don't retain as much by simply listening, and that's why I came home, looked it up (for myself and also for you blog readers), and thought about it on my own after our discussion.
People who volunteer to greet visitors at the Welcome Desk were included, as were the residents and non-residents who prepare meals to be delivered to the community and Crown Center residents. I was invited because I volunteer to work in the library, reshelving books and magazines, and preparing donations to be shelved. I also cull books that have been there long enough and make room for newer books to go on our shelves. I've been doing it since I moved here in 2014, along with other residents, like my friends Donna and Risé. Donna, who had a Master's degree in library science, set up our library as in this photo when she first moved here. The room was recently renovated, but I will share those changes another time.
