Resolve to visit your local library
By Tara Bannon Williamson/ Senior Librarian, Park Hill Branch Library
No matter what your New Years’ resolutions may be, the library has materials to support you in your goals! (Of course, we love you just the way you are, too!)
If you resolved to eat healthier, try the book Culinary Intelligence: The Art of Eating Healthy (and Really Well) by Peter Kaminsky.
If you resolved to stretch every day, try the DVD Yoga for Beginners & Beyond: Stretch, Strengthen, Be Stress Free!
If you resolved to spend more time with your kids, try the book Unbored: The Essential Field Guide to Serious Fun by Joshua Glenn and Elizabeth Foy Larsen or coming to one of our many programs at the library!
If you resolved to eliminate unhealthy habits, try the book You Are Not Your Brain: The 4-Step Solution to Changing Bad Habits, Unhealthy Thinking, and Taking Control of Your Life by Jeffrey Schwartz.
If you resolved to travel more, try the book The Most Scenic Drives in America: 120 Spectacular Road Trips by the Editors of Reader’s Digest.
If you resolved to save money, be sure to take advantage of all the library has to offer! With almost 2.5 million items in the Denver Public Library collection we are sure to have the all the latest bestsellers, blu-rays, DVDs, magazines, and CDs that you are looking for! Add to that the free programming available to you every week, and your library card might be the most valuable piece of plastic in your wallet!
The Staff of the Denver Public Library wishes you a Happy 2013 and supports you in all your hopes for the New Year!
