Skul Library

Students at the South West Bay School library. Reading was rare among villagers. Anthropologist Joan Larcom only once saw a man reading a novel as villagers waited for a meeting to begin. Occasionally, children talked about stories they read at school and compared them on occasion to Mewun stories.
