Fascinating Personalities & Readings ~
On the first and third Thursdays of each month, we reserve the Round Table for coffee and informal readings, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
When we haven't scheduled any particular author, poet or orator, without exception other fascinating personalities pour a cupa and no day goes by without conversation. "The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books."
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
A Quiet Corner ~ Cayuga-On-The-Grand ~ "Where the coffee pot's always on" ~ 29 Talbot Road West (Hwy 3) At stoplight, corner of Cayuga Street ~ HOURS: 10:30 - 5:00 Wed.Thu.Fri. ; Sat. 10:30 ~3. "Stay a While. Read a Book." Please click on "Labels" to read all posts on any particular topic of interest. We like to think of our blog as a quick visit to the bookshop.

"Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we are supposed."
~ William James (1842 - 1910), American psychologist, philosopher.
"Minds are like parachutes. They only function when they are open."
