Are you ready for the New Year? The library is preparing for its annual Winter Wellness series, which will help patrons get organized, healthy and active. The series begins Thursday, Jan. 5, and includes a variety of activities and panels that are open to the public.

Among the events is a six-week yoga series, hosted on Friday mornings. The hour-long sessions, which will be led by Shelly Ransom, a certified yoga instructor, will be filled through a registration process, which opens Monday, Dec. 12, and will continue through Wednesday, Dec. 21, online at bit.ly/yogawithshelly. Registration for this series is a lottery and is open to all Darien residents, those who work in Darien full-time, and non-resident Friends of Darien Library at the Contributor Level (annual donation of $300).

In an effort to reclaim the mind as well as the body, the Library is hosting several other events, including the Get Organized! Panel Discussion, during which several experts will share their expertise on everything from organizing clothing to paperwork. Other programs include meet-the-author events, film screenings and nutrition demonstrations. For the complete list of programs and activities that will take place throughout the series, visit http://www.darienlibrary.org/2011/11/22/health-wellness-series-winter-2012.
