Have You Seen Our 'Vette?

If you've been to the library recently, you've seen this after walking in the front door!

Did you know that on June 30, 2013, it will be 60 years to the day that the first 300 Corvettes rolled off the assembly line? 

If you haven't been able to get your hands on your own "real" Corvette, maybe you can win a little one for your kids! Every raffle ticket sold will benefit the library; the money will be used for parking lot renovations.

So stop by and get your tickets! Each ticket is $5. Race to support your library!

Get Moving!

Celebrate National Fitness Month at your library! Check out our display next to the dvd section, full of books and dvds to inspire you to be fit.

 

With winter behind us, it’s a great time to get outside and get moving. Being physically active is an important part of staying healthy. Here are just some of the benefits of physical activity:

 

Children and adolescents – Physical activity can improve muscular fitness and bone and heart health.

 

Adults – Physical activity can lower risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.

 

Older adults – Physical activity can lower the risk of falls and improve cognitive functioning (like judgment and learning).

 

You can add physical activity to your day by going for a family walk after dinner, throwing a frisbee with your kids, or by doing push-ups and sit-ups during television commercials. Our local parks provide walking trails, playground equipment, and open fields for playing games. Whether you involve the whole family in a game of wiffle ball, enjoy some “me time” during a solitary jog, or take the dog for a walk, just be sure to get outside, enjoy the spring weather, and GET MOVING!

 

Kids in grades 4-6 can join us here at the library for a program to celebrate National Fitness Month! Get ready to move with special guest, Abington Heights cross-country coach and manager of National Running Center, Rob Ahrens. The event will be held on Friday, May 10 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. Register by stopping by or calling the library at 570-587-3440.
