	Music Live music is featured at St. Elmo’s Wednesday through Saturday evenings. A highlight is open mike night, the third Wednesday of every month. See the Calendar for a complete list of all events.

	Regular Groups In the tradition of a “Community Gathering Place” many formal and informal groups use St. Elmo’s as their meeting place. On any given day, we have knitting groups, New Mom's groups, book clubs, and more. Every Wednesday morning “The Socrates Coffee Club,” a group of 15 or more senior citizens come in for coffee and camaraderie and conversation. The liveliest of our groups “The Founders” a very informal group of regulars who have made St. Elmo’s their morning stop for spirited debates whether it is news, politics, sports or good old anarchy. St. Elmo’s is proud to be home to many student study groups as well as a comforting retreat for those in recovery.

	Book Exchange/Board Games The “Take A Book Leave A Book” library has been a great success, offering a wide variety of genres and subjects. Whether you are a fan of romance, travel, popular fiction or classics, there is something for everyone. Have you finished the latest Stephen King and want to try something new? Bring in your book and trade it for another. We also have books for the kiddies! Are you a fan of board games? Do you have games at home collecting dust? Or perhaps that backgammon set is adding to your clutter? Add your favorite games to our collection! What a great way to spend a rainy afternoon with your favorite game.

	Artwork & Jewelry St. Elmo’s is especially proud of our extensive rotating Art Gallery. Featuring the works of local artists. We run the gamut including photography, watercolors, oils, and hand made paper, landscapes, abstracts and stained glass pieces. We are honored to display the work of the many accomplished and aspiring neighborhood artists. All the work on display is for sale and is usually quite reasonably priced. What a great way to acquire a one of a kind piece of art or jewelry for your home or as a gift.

	Remembering The Coffee House Photographer A gem in the St. Elmo’s crown was our own Wayne Cofer, The Coffee House Photographer. An avid and renowned photographer, Wayne captured the people, places and events happening in and around St. Elmo’s. Wayne passed away on 5/2/09. He will be missed by us all.
