New Wellness Programming in 2023

Wednesday, 28 December 2022 07:27

We all need eight dimensions of wellness for a balanced life.   Each month the library will be holding programs with an emphasis on a dimension from the wellness wheel.  These will be presented in collaboration with community partners and bring encouragement, motivation, and accountability for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Be sure to check out the monthly displays for books related to our featured wellness topic.  There will also be activities for families and children of all ages.

‘Books Make Us Bright’ is Wilkes County Public Library’s holiday slogan and we are all excited to share the brightness during our Holiday Open House between 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on December 13.  Stop by and enjoy refreshments, provided by our Friends of the Library.  In addition, along with new books to share, we are highlighting special additions to the library’s non-traditional collection.   *Let us just say that Santa came early this year!
