Thanks to our Friends of the Library, Asahi Nordic Exercise will continue on Wednesday mornings at 8:30am. The Friends help our instructor with gas money, as she comes each week from Bessemer. We invite you to come enjoy this morning movement exercise outdoors at The Friends Place. This is an exercise for all ages and abilities. We focus on breathing, balance, and movement. We can complete the exercises standing or sitting. Wear comfortable clothing that you can move in. We will move indoors as the weather warrants.
Kids have until August 30th to earn a reading medal. All it takes is 50 reading points. That’s 50 picture books, 10 intermediate or ‘J’ or non-fiction books, or any combination of those groups.
