Get Active at the Library!

Now that it’s getting hotter, we might not feel like getting outside for some exercise, but we also know the importance of being active. We currently have two programs at the library that get you up and get you moving, all in the comfort of our nice, cool library.

Our Fit & Feisty exercise group meets every Mon, Wed, and Fri at 1:00. We offer a variety of exercises, and you can participate from either a sitting or standing position, so it’s appropriate for all fitness levels.

We also offer Chair Yoga on Thursdays at 2:15. We focus on relaxation, stretching, balance, and breathing. All exercises are done either from a seated position or standing and using the chair. You do not have to get down on (or up from) the floor! There is no cost for either of these programs. Give one of them a try!
