Something New For You

Finally spring is here after a long and cold winter. Spring is a time of growth and new beginnings so why not learn a new skill or try something different? 

Learning new things helps keep the brain young, promotes a feeling of well-being and can improve your self-esteem. Have you ever wanted to knit, draw, decorate a room, sing, play a musical instrument, play golf, meditate or learn how to really use that smartphone? Overcome the fear, don’t overthink it, make the time, get in the groove and go for it! The public library is the perfect place to start your new adventure.
