Reading New Year’s Resolutions

            Happy New Year, everyone! It’s 2025 and the Calhoun County Library would like to help you with your New Year’s resolutions. Come join our programs that feature exercising, learning skills, and playing games.

            Did you know that the library is the perfect place to fulfill your New Year’s resolutions? If you have made a commitment to exercise more, join our fitness classes! We have two classes that will get you moving. Yoga meets every Monday from 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM. In this class, you will focus on your breathing and relax your body. Yoga class is $2 a class or $7 for the month. We also have Strong & Limber which meets every Tuesday and Friday from 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM. In this class, you stretch and learn to balance. Strong & Limber is $2 a class or $14 for the month.

            Would you like to find out how Yoga poses help your  body move, you can Google it - unless your computer skills are rusty. If you need to refresh your computer skills or learn from scratch how to use a computer, then head to the library every Wednesday from 3 PM - 5 PM for our Adult Computer Class. Do you need to make an email account? We can help! Do you want to write a resume or story? We can help! Do you want to start a project but need to design it? We can help! This class is self-paced and completely free to attend every week. The best part is, unlike school, if you miss a class, you won’t be behind! Come learn some new skills or even refresh the computer skills you already have with us.

            If you aren’t interested in fitness or you are already good with a computer, head to the library to play BINGO and have some fun and win great prizes! BINGO meets on the first Thursday of every month from 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM. If you think you have what it takes to win, come play BINGO. We play 5 rounds, each one with a different strategy. Every win gets a special prize and the grand prize gift card goes to whomever gets blackout on their card. We have given out Piggly Wiggly, Amazon, and VISA cards for our winners so come play  with us!

             Do you know what else you can do at the library? How about reading some great books? If you made a resolution to read more this year, the library is open for you to come pick out anything you would like!  If you’d prefer to stay at home, you can use the Libby App to choose your books online. We all know that reading opens up a world of possibilities, so open a book and enjoy the adventure.

            We love that our community comes together for special events and we want to make sure everyone knows what we have to offer throughout the year. Whether you want to be social or not, we have something for everyone here at the Calhoun County Library. If you haven’t made any New Year’s resolutions yet, there is still time! The library will be here waiting to support you!
