January is the month of resolutions. For many, the beginning of the New Year inspires a break with old habits and a promise to live healthier and fuller lives. Trying something new and different for a year can be path to self-discovery and lasting change. Whether filled with adventure or introspection, no matter what the outcome, the journey through just one year can be life changing. This January, check out our display of books, audiobooks and movies chronicling a year in the life.

Tuesday, January 29 at 7PM  
 

Hiking the AT

Roger Tetreault took the phrase "take a hike" literally when he decided to walk the 2,176.4 miles of the Appalachian Trail in 2008. It took him 5.5 months to hike from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine. During the hike he encountered temperatures ranging from 18� to 100�, snow, lots of rain, deer, wild horses, wild long horned cattle, wild boar, mountain lions, bears, snakes, and many wonderful fellow thru-hikers. A carpenter by trade, Roger is a backpacking and hiking enthusiast. His presentation chronicles the many sights and sounds of the Appalachian Trail. Register now.
Remember, the library is a happening place and your library card is your ticket to free books, magazines, music, movies, Internet access, enriching programs and much more!

 

Sincerely,
