Strength Training @ the Library

This all started with an arm wresting challenge.

Fill your water bottles with sand...
Weigh them on our scale...
Begin lifting...

This led to push ups with sand bags on our backs. 
Making punching bags.
Doing hand Stands.

Later Nurse Sandy helped us find our heart rate.  She talked about resting heart rates and that everyone's in different so it is good to keep track.

Planning Our Future

When should I start my Social Security benefits?
Can my spouse collect off of my benefits?

These are some of the questions asked at last nights class.  Of course everyone's situation is unique so one simple answer may just not do.
Brian Bickett helped those attending better understand what benefits are available through Social Security.  He also brought out some new rules the administration  put out this year.  
Thank you to all who attended.  The next Social Security workshop will be October 2016.

Thank You Donna!

Donna Willson has left the building.
A lot has happened since Donna started at the library in 1998.  One DOS based computer and a card catalog system.  Now we have been automated using a computerized program with seven computers in the building.  Donna did all the cataloging for every book that came in the door.  She will be on hand down the road to fill in ... Thank You Donna,  so you may see her here.
