About Round Tables

Round Tables are a new way of getting small groups in conversation using the rich resources of the Sitting Room Library. Here is how we are imagining them: no cost, no advance preparation needed. And only one meeting planned. Browse the library, select a book. Each person speaks and also listens, and thus we have what we all want: conversation. Bring your curiosity!

Listen to "The Sitting Room: A Treasure Trove of 'Lost Ladies'" — a new podcast episode!

The hosts of the Lost Ladies of Lit podcast, Kim and Amy, visited the Sitting Room Library in October and made a special episode all about our collection and work. Listen to hear snippets from co-founder J.J. Wilson's tour, and conversations about the history, present and future of the Sitting Room Library and the many wonderful readers and writers who have spent time here. 


Available to listen on any podcast platform; for a direct link to the Lost Ladies of lit webpage for the episode, click here.

Lost Ladies of Lit Podcast

Lost Ladies of Lit is a podcast hosted by writing partners Amy Helmes and Kim Askew about “lost” classics by women writers.
