Library News for the Week of May 12

Intro to Meditation
Are you looking for a constructive way to deal with stress? Unsure if meditation can work for you because you've heard you have to empty your mind or sit completely still? Certified meditation instructor Sheila Dignazio will offer an introductory session in which she will bust some common myths about meditation and share a few basic meditation and mindfulness techniques that can help bring more balance into your life. The program will take place on Saturday, May 17 at 1:00 in the library's Community Room. Please register by calling the Reference Desk at 570-454-2961, or via the calendar tab on this website, or via our Facebook page.
