Becoming a parent is beautiful, and also a massive shock to your nervous system. Join licensed psychotherapist Brooke Miller, founder of Honey Mental Health and Honey. For Moms, for an open, honest conversation about what really happens to your mind, body, and emotions during pregnancy, postpartum, and those early years of parenting.
In this casual 45-minute program, Brooke will walk you through:
- What perinatal mental health actually means
- The most common symptoms both moms and dads miss (or dismiss)
- Common symptoms, approaches to care, and what “I'm fine” can hide
- How the nervous system responds to the transition into parenthood
- When to reach out for help and what help can look like
The talk will end with a supportive, no-pressure Q&A. Perfect for expecting parents, new parents, and anyone who supports them.

What a thrill to take the clear liquid sap from a sugar maple tree, as clear as clean water, and turn it into the amber sweet syrup that we all enjoy. The magic begins in the late winter/early spring as daytime temperatures rise above freezing and nighttime temperatures stay below the freezing mark. Learn the history of “sugaring” from the Native American ways to our modern processes. Understand how to identify a sugar maple tree with its leaves on or without them. Plus, enjoy a taste of maple syrup on vanilla ice cream!
Join Don Snoeyink of Thornapple Woodlands as we celebrate Maple Syrup Month in Michigan!

Catalina Incognito (Catalina Incognito #1)
by Jennifer Torres
Registration required. Pick up your book at the Youth Services Desk after registering.
Catalina Castañeda is not persnickety, even though that's what her parents and sister, Coco, like to think. Catalina just likes things the way she likes them--perfect. That's why it's very hard to hide her disappointment when her Tía Abuela, a famous telenovela actress, gives her an old sewing kit for her eighth birthday. However, Catalina soon discovers the sewing kit isn't as boring as she thinks-it turns ordinary clothing into magical disguises.
When Tía Abuela's most famous costume goes on display at the local library, Catalina and her frenemy, Pablo, can't wait to see it. They are in for an unpleasant surprise, though: someone has stolen a ruby from the legendary costume! Catalina thinks she can help catch the culprit. Will Catalina be able to figure out who stole the ruby with the help of her new magical sewing kit?
