Back to Reality...and Walking!

Ugh! A rainy Monday on my first day back. Not the least bit inspirational. But I must thank the great library staff for holding down the fort while I was gone. The building is still standing, the patrons seem rather happy, Lori didn't greet me with "a list" and Deb didn't clutter my clean desk up! (Yes, my desk is clean, you heard correctly...any bets on how long it will last???) Thanks to all of you for doing a great job (or "the minimum" as I heard it!)

Okay, down to business...

WE STILL HAVE WALKING FIT KITS AVAILABLE!!

People have been coming in thinking it's too late to start...it's never too late! This is a fun and healthy way to encourage wellness. As a community we have until August 31 to collectively walk one million miles! Stop by the library today and get your kit. It's full of all sorts of useful information to get you moving!!

Are you having trouble getting out there? Want some people to walk with for inspiration? Want to help a good cause? Well, have we got a program for you! Join us on Sunday, May 18th from Noon - 6 pm at the Granite Valley Track as the Monson High Girl's Track and Field Team "teams" up with the Monson Free Library to walk some miles and raise some money for new uniforms...and some funds for the library too! This is an excellent chance to log some miles with your community! There is a $5.00 donation to walk as an individual or a $10 donation for a family. Bring a picnic or for a small fee, enjoy some healthy snacks. Stay the whole time or just participate for an hour...we don't care, we just want you healthy and the girls need new uniforms!

Finally...remember to turn in those walking logs at the end of each month so we can keep a running tally of our accomplishments!
