Make visits to the library a part of your NYE Resolutions

Eleven days into the New Year, have you kept your New Year’s Resolutions?  Some core items that individuals set their goals on include spending more time with family and friends, getting fit, financial goals, learning something new, and getting organized, taming the clutter. If one is on your list, the library can help you! We have a wealth of information and books about making your resolutions a possibility.

For getting fit, we have Zumba and introductory yoga books and DVDs to help you along the way. Within the last few weeks, we've acquired new cookbooks including “The Daniel Plan” by Rick Warren, Daniel Amen, and Mark Hyman, “Giada’s feel good food: my healthy recipes and secrets” by Giada De Laurentiis, and “Wheat Belly” by William Davis. On display in the adult area are “Real Food’ by Nina Planck and “Skinny Bitch in the Kitch” by Rory Freedman.

The newest financial book on the shelf, is “Jim Cramer’s get rich carefully” by James Cramer as well as others on the non-fiction shelves.

For organization check out “Organic Housekeeping” by Ellen Sandbeck, “The Organized Home” by Leslie Plummer Clagett, and a slew of Martha Stewart books. Family Circle, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, and Martha Stewart Living magazines (not the only ones) are great for finding articles and recipes. Or check out our newest Zinio magazine subscription on your e-reader.

If you’re learning something new, check out our computer classes every week on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. Or start a path on web design and languages with “Web design in a nutshell” or an audiobook on learning German, Greek, Portuguese or Japanese.
