Shelf Indulgence: Book Club - Monday, 3/23, at 5:00pm in-person and via Zoom

Walking Group - Fridays at 9:30am

Did you know that the library has been working with OHSU for two years on a walking group study? During the study, the group wasn't open to the public, but the study is done, and we can now welcome everyone to our walking group! Join a cheerful group of walkers for Friday morning strolls. Each walk is usually under an hour and over flat land. Sometimes we go a little long, but more often we go a little short. The group will meet at Tractor Supply on the first Friday of each month. Every other Friday, the group will be meeting at the library. Email Nick@creswell-library.org to get on the group email list and learn the location of the next walk and any weather-related or other location changes.

Please bring 2 beach towels to help support some of our yoga activities.

Chair Yoga, hosted by the amazing Deanna Hoover. Chair Yoga features 20 minutes of yoga in a chair, 20 minutes standing with a chair for support, and 20 minutes of light mat yoga. Please bring your own mat and two yoga blocks if you have them. 

The first Monday of the month, we will have coffee and tea available for people to sit down and chat with Deanna and others from the yoga group.

Coffee and Books - Tuesdays at 11:00am 

Join us every Tuesday morning at 11am for coffee and books at our book club. No need to stress about finding the book club book and staying on pace with everyone else.

No pressure to share if you just want to join us to get ideas about new books to read.
