Native American Heritage Month
This month we celebrate the rich cultures and heritage of Native Americans. Be enlightened with books by Joy Harjo, the first Native American U.S. Poet Laureate, or award-winning author Louise Erdrich. This is also a good time to take an honest look at history. Enlarge your understanding with these books: Unworthy Republic, This Land is Their Land, and Surviving Genocide.
Feeling Mentally Overwhelmed?
Self-care is important in these difficult times of learning from home and being separated from friends. The library has books to guide you through techniques for improving your mental well-being. Some recent additions: Biofeedback and Mindfulness in Everyday Life, Tiny Habits, and Designing Your Life.
The college also has a Health and Wellness Break on Zoom every Monday through Thursday at 2:45. A little stretching, mindfulness, and meditation can really help. Each day is a little different with something new to learn. Shy? Leave your camera off or ask a friend to join you virtually!
