Tales N' Tunes play group

Join us as we discuss kid-chosen books, chapter by chapter. When we finish a book we vote on the next one so that you will have a chance to read about something you like and would like your friends to read as well. We are meeting at this time because we don't want to create conflicts with school sports. We have in the past met on Thursdays at 3:30 to 4:30pm, so eventually the time may change, but you will have lots of heads up before that happens. Please keep in mind that we follow the school schedule for this program, so if there is no school on a particular Thursday, we will not be meeting that day. We are currently reading "Matilda" by Roald Dahl.

Meditation practice has been shown to reduce stress, improve immune function, increase positive emotions and attentive abilities, and deepen the qualities of empathy, inner calm and patience. The practice helps practitioners see into their deepest nature, and in so doing, become freer from suffering and able to feel gratitude for what each day brings. Some of the Topics included: How to work with a “chattering mind;” learning to befriend thoughts and feelings, rather than being pulled around by them. How to work with the breath to focus one’s attention and deepen relaxation. How to work with difficult emotions - fear, anger, sadness, etc. This program is ongoing, and takes place Wednesday mornings from 9:45-11:00 am. The cost is free. No prior registration required. For more information, please call the library at (315) 429-3421.

Dolgeville-Manheim Library invites you to: General Adult Education classes; GED classes to earn your General Education Diploma. We at the Library understand that “things happen” and “life gets in the way” of some of our plans, even while in High School. So, if this sounds like you, and you would like to take advantage of this FREE program made available to us through Herkimer County BOCES, please call us at (315)429-3421 and we will be able to give you information of how to get started. The Class takes place on Thursdays, and there are various time slots available. The program follows the attendance schedule of the public schools, so if there is no regular school on that Thursday then there is no GED class held that day.
