Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

The Lion's Paw Book Club is an open discussion group named for Wisconsin author Hamlin Garland's short story, Under the
Lion's Paw. The club began in January 1998 as a collaborative effort serving UW-River Falls faculty,
staff, students, and community members who enjoy reflective reading and discussion.
Monthly meetings are held from 3 - 4
p.m. on the first or second Wednesday of the month in Chalmer Davee Library's second
floor breezeway. [View library floor map] Session leaders serve
as conversation guides for books that have inspired them. Anyone is welcome to attend and need not have read
the books to sit in. Featured books are always on sale in the
Falcon Shop in the University Center. Several copies of each book are
also available in the library’s collection. |
