The Get Fit, Flora! program is now half way over. The group is also working with the state's Ready, Set, Walk initiative sponsored by first lady Cheri Daniels. The new program has stressed the importance of pedometers to encourage more steps per day. Last week the focus was eating for strong bones and muscles to help you get the maximum performance from your exercise. Get Fit, Flora! meets Thursday evenings at 7:15 p.m. New members are always welcome.

Take a break while you're in the library and visit the Book Nook Coffee Shop. Hot coffee and tea, ice cold soda, and even candy bars to munch on! Grab a book, newspaper or magazine then relax and refresh without leaving the building! The Book Nook is open during library operating hours.

The theme of the next storytime will be "Mother's Day." We will celebrate mothers and why they are so special. There will also be stories about everyone's favorite fictional mother, Mother Goose! Storytime is Tuesday mornings at 10 a.m.
