[\/media-credit] Senior Administrative Assistant Julinda Le Dee read a small passage of her own poetry book, “Rough Edges” at the small memorial reception in honor of her sister who passed away in the language arts department on Oct. 15.<\/figcaption><\/figure>This project was a brainchild of Senior Division Administrative Assistant Julinda LeDee, who created the small space in memory of her sister Kandice, who passed away at the age of 21.<\/p>\n

Kandice Sue Smith was a victim of domestic violence by her boyfriend and was shot and killed on Oct. 6, 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cKandice loved to read,\u201d LeDee said preemptively before reading a passage of poetry from one of her published books, \u201cRough Edges.\u201d<\/p>\n

LeDee thanked the small crowd for attending the event and encouraged other attendees to read or recite a small portion from their favorite book or story.<\/p>\n

English instructor Scott Inguito read from \u201cThe Invisible Man\u201d by Ralph Ellison. The short passage that he read allowed an open discussion about race and visibility in the already intimate group setting.<\/p>\n

Alva Long, a psychology major student, did not have a book to cite immediately, so he recited his favorite lyrics from \u201cThe Moody Blues,\u201d a band popular in the 1960s and 1970s.<\/p>\n

The lyrics \u201creach out to me and (are) profound to me,\u201d Long said. \u201cThey\u2019ve stuck with me since I was a teen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other attendees were encouraged to read aloud or explain what their favorite stories were to the small crowd by the Language Arts staff.<\/p>\n

The small collection began with roughly 30 books of varying genres, but the corner has many additions by means of donations. Many books have been taken as well, LeDee said.<\/p>\n

English instructor Anthony Pino even donated a copy of his personal book, \u201cA Hidden River.\u201d<\/p>\n

If interested in donating or borrowing from this small library, visit the second floor of the General Education building in the Language Arts department.<\/p>\n
