Middleburgh Library Notes for Thursday, March 21, 2019
Drop-in Story Time at the Middleburgh Library will be held at 10:45 a.m. on March 26. This fun and interactive program is meant for children up to age 5 and their caregivers, although older siblings are always welcome.

Don’t know how to play? No problem! They will teach you how. No registration is required.
Insight Meditation
On March 26, at 5:15 p.m., a meditation group will meet at the library.
What do you want most deeply? Seeing your life calmly and clearly helps answer this. Insight Meditation is a simple way to steady your mind, stop wandering in daydreams, and end the suffering of troubling thoughts.
Our group is a place to sit quietly in safety, supported by others; to allow understanding and compassion to arise; to encourage loving kindness and patience. We welcome those with no experience to advanced mediators, teens to seniors.
Give it a try. No registration is required. There is no fee. All are welcome.
Caregivers
On March 26 from 6:20 to 7:30 p.m. come to the library for the Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Group program open to anyone caring for a Alzheimer's patient.
Moon Walk
On March 28 at 10:30 a.m. join us for an Indoor walking workout. During this time of year when the weather is unpredictable, walking outside can be a challenge. Why not walk with us inside the library as we work through Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home workout videos. These “Walking” workouts burn more calories than a stroll around the park because they focus on a series of multi-muscle moves. A higher muscle engagement leads to higher calorie burn and of course more muscle tone all while being easy on the joints! Walking is the most natural and effective way to health and wellness, and works for anyone, any age, any size and anywhere. Classes with be 30 to 40 minutes long with time for cool down and conversation and will be led by our resident yoga instructor Vicki DeGroff. Please wear loose fitting and comfortable clothing. Registration is required.
