ADULT PROGRAMS

The Organized Busy Mom, Tuesday, May 21, at 2 p.m. 

Between cramped work schedules, running to dance classes, making soccer practice on time, cooking, and cleaning, today’s mom has to Super Woman!  Being organized can help you be the superhero that you have to be while easing stress and friction for everyone.  Sandra Lane of Organization Lane LLC will be stopping by the library to teach you a few simple tricks and techniques to conquer the organization troubles facing today’s moms and families. Registration is required.

Adult Writing Community, Tuesday, May 14, at 6:30 p.m. 

Writing is never a solitary act, sometimes it takes a community to make it happen! This first-ever Adult Writing Community is run by staff member and published author Heather Blake. Whether you write poetry, short stories, plays, or songs, you’re welcome to join us for writing exercises, discussion, and constructive criticism. Bring your original work if you wish to share or seek advice. Registration is recommended. 

Cookbook Club, Tuesday, May 28, at 7 p.m.                                    

Do you love to cook?  Are you a food aficionado?  Are you constantly on the lookout for great new recipes and fantastic new treats?  If you answered yes to any of those questions, then join us as at the library for Cookbook Club. We will meet once a month for three months to try out some great new foods. A different cookbook will be featured each month; all you need to do is pop into the library to look through it and choose a recipe, take it home, and bring your creation to share at the meeting.  We’ll swap cooking stories, rate the recipes, and of course, we’ll eat!  Registration is required.

Money Matters 101 with Steidl & Steinberg, Wednesday, May 22, at 6:30 p.m. 

Experts from Steidl & Steinberg will be on hand at the library to discuss all your relevant financial concerns. Tips for setting up and sticking to a budget, dealing with credit card debt, facing down student loans, and finding feasible solutions to debt troubles will all be addressed. We all know that money makes the world go around, now let the people who know how help you hold onto your cash before the world spins out of control!

Dogs and Storks, Saturday, May 25, at 2 p.m.                          

Parents with a baby on the way have months to plan for their newborn’s arrival; but how do you explain an impending birth to your dog? All too often people spring the news by simply bringing baby home, assuming their dog will naturally and automatically welcome the tiny stranger. But such a surprise can be very confusing to canines that haven’t been properly prepared. Dogs & Storks™ helps expectant parents and other caregivers get their dogs ready for life with baby. In this class, you will learn:

• How to ensure your dog has positive emotional associations with the baby before the big day arrives
• How to include your dog in the baby’s arrival
• How to read your dog’s subtle body language to see how comfortable he is with the baby
• Fun games and activities for baby’s first days at home that will send your dog the message that she and baby are both beloved members of the family!

You’ll also receive the Dogs & Storks™ handouts, and be able to ask Aunt Penny questions about what to expects as your baby and dog grow up together.
