Winter can be a trying time, but the library does have a few resources that can help you. Here are some things that can help if you're feeling a little bit low this winter:

-Get Active.

"Excercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy." -Elle Woods, Legally Blond.

Doing some sort of exercise can help you get through the winter months! Try yoga, get into a snowball fight, check out "Just Dance" for Wii from the Library, and feel better. If you're looking to learn a new type of exercise such as yoga or dance, Hoopla has some video titles you could download, or you can browse our collection of exercise DVDs in the non-fiction DVD area. We also have plenty of books to help you along.

-Catch up on your reading.

There is no better time than when it is cold and gloomy to catch up on the books you've been wanting to read. Browse the new book collection, read an entire manga series, check out a New York Times Bestseller, or if it's just too cold to leave the house, browse our digital collection and download a book to your phone, tablet, or computer.

-Try something new.

Check out our craft books, go to Mango Languages to learn a new language, show up at Quilting for a Cause here at the library, and break up the winter monotony.

-Hang out with positive people

Keep an eye on the calendar or this blog to see what teen events are coming up! Getting out of the house and hanging out with cool people is a great way to beat winter blues.

 

Hang in there.
