REACH, N. Adams Public Library team up for health offerings - April 09, 2008
NORTH ADAMS - The North Adams Public Library and the REACH Community Health Foundation are collaborating to offer fitness and nutrition programming at the North Adams Library.
On Tuesday, April 22 at 11 a.m. the journey towards better fitness and nutrition begins with a presentation on gardening for families by the Northern Berkshire Grows program of the REACH Get Fit program. Co-Manager Jennifer Muñoz will give families the opportunity to plant seeds that will be incorporated into the flowerpots for the library. While the project takes place Muñoz will talk about gardening with the family and about the Community Garden projects in the northern Berkshires.
On Wednesday, April 23 at 11 a.m. the "Healthy Kids on the Mooove" program will present “Cowabunga Calcium.” REACH Get Fit Program Co-Manager Liz Grees will present a program explaining why calcium is important to growing kids and easy ways to get calcium into your diet. In addition to the presentation, Ms. Grees will incorporate active play through Cowabunga Calcium Tag.
Also during the month of April, Families Making Changes returns to the library on Tuesday evenings at 5:15 p.m. Families Making Changes is a six-week program that focuses on making healthy permanent changes that will improve a families overall health. The program begins April 8 and runs through May 13. Although the program requires pre-registration, families who are interested in the program may attend any session to get information.
“We partnered with the North Adams Public Library during the 2007 spring vacation week with great success,” said Sharon Leary, Outreach and Communications Coordinator for REACH. “We are always looking for ways to collaborate with the local libraries and know from past experience the public library is a popular destination spot during all school vacations. It just made sense that we do it again.”
