The library is setting out to prove that fitness can be fun — and video games can have a place in an active lifestyle. The library will turn its conference room into a sports arena with Nintendo Wii on Wednesday, Jan. 18, and Wednesday, Feb. 1, from 10-noon.

The library staff will be on hand to show patrons how to use the Wii set ups, and then adults will have a chance to join a round of golf, go bowling, have an archery contest or even throw a Frisbee, using the video game controllers.

 

The event is part of the Library's "Winter Wellness" health and wellness series, which will provide patrons with a variety of lectures, expert panels, workshops, film screening and fitness exercises designed to help get healthy, organized and active.
