“Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments, embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour.” – John Boswell
This is a wonderful sentiment from John Boswell but not many of us seem to have idle hours any more. Every moment is filled with work and chores, or we’re running from A to B to C to pick up and drop off children and grandchildren. All very stressful!
The good news is that we have the perfect solution right here in the library! Reading books, particularly fiction, has been shown to slow heart rates and reduce muscle tension. It also helps to improve focus and concentration and provides time for you to unwind. This was found in people who had read for a mere six minutes. Just pop into the library to find a wonderful antidote to modern living. Our first Book Sale of 2022 is on Saturday 8 January. Come along and pick up the perfect relaxing read.
