New Guidelines on Program Attendance
We understand that sometimes, unexpected instances can occur that may prevent you from attending a program that you registered for. If you find that you are unable to attend an event, please give us a call, email us, or cancel your registration online. This will afford others who would like to attend, the opportunity to participate. Unfortunately, absences without prior notification and extreme tardiness have been hindering library staff from carrying out programs to the best of our abilities. Even more importantly, these disruptive behaviors are undermining the positive experiences of other participants. The Library's Patron Behavior Policy explicitly states that behavior that “interferes with the enjoyment of the library by other individuals” can result in adverse consequences. Therefore, we feel it’s important to announce our new guidelines for program attendance. Beginning on July 1st, any registrant for an adult program who is a “no-show” and/or is more than 15 minutes late for two events will subsequently be moved to the waitlist for the next program they register for. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping make our library programs pleasurable and meaningful for all.

Health & Wellness
Prabha Makayee will lead a guided mindfulness session on Zoom. Zoom info will be sent prior to the event. No camera or microphone necessary to participate.
Topics covered may include: Gratitude takes Guts, Self Sabotage to Self Love, I am the Boss of Me, I Want Answers, Failure is the Key, and Worrier to Warrior, and many more!
Prabha Makayee is an educator and mindfulness leader who has been offering mindfulness sessions to libraries in the area for the past year. The country-wide COVID shutdown, along with the glut of online bombardment, seemed to be a natural call to pause, and mindfulness provides the perfect antidote that can help address any problem by helping us take charge and empower ourselves to manage ourselves to our highest potential. She’ll use anecdotal reflections and interaction to help bring the benefits of mindfulness to all with one second, one thought, one breath strategy.
Register here to receive the Zoom room information.
