Morning Book Group: Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

Meet Eleanor Oliphant: she struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding unnecessary human contact, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy. But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save an elderly gentleman who has fallen, the three rescue one another from the lives of isolation that they had been living.

This program is offered both in person and on Zoom at the same time. To attend on Zoom register at: http://bit.ly/FPL-Events

Led by Julie Morrocco. December's title is The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden.

Lifelong Learning Lecture: Moving Beyond the Walls That Separate Us

GUEST SPEAKER: Dr. Deborah McMakin, Associate Professor of Psychology and Philosophy, FSU and Program Coordinator, Counseling and Psychology


The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program represents a partnership between educational institutions and correctional facilities. Inside-Out brings together students who usually attend classes on the FSU campus with students who are incarcerated to study together over the course of one semester. An Inside-Out instructor and students will speak about the unique pedagogy and group dynamics of the prison classroom, including the challenges, joys, and surprises they encountered teaching in this exceptional setting.
