A new year has begun, so of course it is time to consider new ways of doing things, new paths to wander, and new thoughts to think. The Library can help you find just the method to use to best effect a change.

If you have weight-loss aspirations, for example, you may like to read Dr. Phil’s book, The Ultimate Weight Solution, which we have both as a book and on CD. Personally, I enjoyed reading Jordin Rubin’s The Maker’s Diet. We also have copies of the Duchess of York’s Reinventing Yourself if you are a Weight Watchers fan and Arthur Agatston’s South Beach Diet. And then, there are the “classics” written by authors like Dean Ornish and Robert Atkins.

If, however, you are more interested in fitness, you may be more interested in our DVD collection, with its concetration of yoga, Pilates and aerobic exercises. We’re a library, of course, so we also have many good books on the subject. These can all be found in the non-fiction section of the  collection in the Dewey 600’s — specifically, 612-616. Or, combine both topics and laugh your way through George Burns’ How To Live To Be 100–Or More.

Over the next few weeks, we will look at other topics near and dear to the hearts of Resolution Makers everywhere. Let’s hope we can keep them all!
