The Library Society of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna, is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the inaugural session of Midday Chapters, our lunchtime Book Talk Series, held on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM at the S.K. Charles Auditorium.
The session was graced by our distinguished guest speaker, Senior Prof. N.S.B.M. Athapaththu, who delivered an engaging and thought-provoking talk on the No. 1 International Bestseller, “Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps” by Allan & Barbara Pease. The talk explored the book’s captivating insights into behavioural and cognitive differences between men and women, drawing enthusiastic responses and lively discussion from the audience.
The event brought together academic staff, non-academic staff, and students of the Faculty of Agriculture for an enriching and stimulating hour of ideas and conversation. The interactive Q&A session that followed the talk saw active participation from attendees, making it a truly engaging and memorable experience for all.
Midday Chapters is a new initiative by the Library Society aimed at fostering a culture of reading, intellectual curiosity, and collegial exchange within the Faculty community. The overwhelmingly positive response to the inaugural session reflects the enthusiasm of our Faculty community for such meaningful engagements.
The Library Society extends its sincere gratitude to Senior Prof. N.S.B.M. Athapaththu for the inspiring and memorable talk, and to all staff and students who joined us and made this first session a resounding success.
