Presbyterian Manor Art is Ageless® exhibit and reception features senior artists
Residents Gene Brinkman, right, and Lowell Smith catch up in the library. Gene shared, “Lowell is 100 years old. He’s kind of a serious fellow but I like to tease him and get him to loosen up a little bit.”
Library holds a special place in hearts of staff, residents alike To the casual visitor, the community’s library is nothing more than a place to pick up a new novel or catch up on the daily news. To others, it serves as an important connection point to days gone by, the world of today and one another. For Marketing Director Whitley Stokes, the library conjures up fond memories of family trips to the library as a child and the excitement surrounding learning and discovery. “I remember my mom toting me and my sister to the library for all kinds of fun activities,” said Whitley. “We would have reading contests, and if you could read a certain amount of books in a few weeks you could win a prize, and I remember all the fun art and science projects we got to participate in.” LIBRARY - continued on page 3
