Join Beth McCoun every Tuesday at 4:45 PM for chair yoga and discover a gentle yet effective form of exercise that can benefit seniors both physically and mentally. Chair yoga makes yoga accessible to adults with mobility limitations, providing a comfortable alternative to traditional yoga practice. With chair yoga, you can experience the benefits of yoga while seated, eliminating the need for up-and-down movements typically associated with yoga practice.

Traditionally, garden stakes have played the essential roles of supporting plants and marking their presence in our beloved green spaces. Yet today, they have evolved into delightful decorative elements that bring a touch of whimsy and charm to any outdoor area. Imagine transforming your grassy yard, manicured flower bed, or thriving herb garden by adding one—or a collection—of these enchanting stakes, creating an inviting atmosphere that reflects your personal style.

With a vast array of garden stakes available, you can find options that range from elegantly simple to intricately ornate. Whether you’re seeking to label your vibrant herb garden or infuse a splash of creativity into your flower bed, there’s a perfect stake just waiting to be discovered.

Even better, you have the opportunity to craft your own unique garden stake right here at the Library! Join us on Tuesday, June 17th at 5:00 PM and unleash your creativity as you design a stake that adds character and charm to your outdoor haven. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Cardio Drumming is an invigorating, inclusive workout that people of all ages and fitness levels can enjoy. It’s a dynamic blend of drumming and cardio set to music, boosting heart rate, enhancing rhythm, building upper body strength, refining motor skills, and hand-eye coordination—all while torching calories. What's truly incredible is that you don't need drumming experience or even actual drums! Instead, we'll use stability balls, buckets, and drumsticks. Tristen Stansfield will be leading us in an energetic session of Cardio Drumming.

Buckets and drumsticks will be provided, but attendees must bring their own stability ball.
