Join us for this series of pleasurable, selected short
stories for adults. The stories can be located online or you may obtain a copy at the Reference Desk. There will be two stories for the month of December.
The first story is by Nathaniel Hawthorne. "The Birthmark" is a cautionary tale of scientific responsibility, it examines human psychology, and it explores humankind's struggle to cope with mortality and ambiguity.
The second story is by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a story about the gradual emotional and intellectual deterioration of a young wife and mother as she suffers from postpartum depression.
