Mental Wellness Month
January can be hard--the cheer of the holidays might leave you feeling a little depleted, the drag of winter darkness begins to weigh heavier, and the push to make life-changing resolutions can make you wonder if you aren't good enough just the way you are... So, this month, the library is focusing on our mental health. Join us at our various locations for a variety of programs designed to improve mental wellness and our awareness and knowledge of mental health issues.
