A Librarian's Message... |
TOUGH TIMES
In the early 80’s, I remember a children’s book that we had in the library called Tough Times. The book was about a little boy whose family was dealing with more bills than the money to pay them. The usual answer the little boy got when he wanted to buy something was, “You know it’s tough times now.” Through the love and understanding of his family he learned that tough times can also be good times. For many, these are tough times and frightening times. It is a time to be kind to yourself. Here are some ideas for the tough times:
- Listen to music (CDs in all types of music are available for you to borrow)
- Go for a walk on the Trail
- Read a book, need I say more
- Hugs always help
- Now that the fields are bare, watch the sunrise or the sunset
- Laugh at a joke, or tell one
- Think about an enjoyable memory
- Enjoy a relaxing nap
- Blow bubbles
- Visit a friend
- Watch a funny movie (We’ll help you find one from the collection)
- Exercise (There are Yoga groups that meet in the Library
The library has lots of resources that you can use to improve your situation in the tough times like: music, movies, and books that you can borrow with your library card without paying anything. We have information about finances, job-hunting, and family fun. You can get magazines or read the newspaper. You can just sit and enjoy the garden. Help me spread the word, the library is here to use in good times or in tough times.
