Get it on your calendar—reading is FUNdamental 💫

Mark your calendar -- it's time to restock your home library! 📚 The Friends of Joliet Public Library are getting ready for their popular fall sale Oct. 23-25 at the Black Road Branch.

The sale offers gently used books, movies, audiobooks and music at bargain prices while raising money to support library collections, programs and services.

This Sunday! Stop by and pick up a few favorites, and know that you are supporting a good cause: proceeds from this sale go toward the purchase of groceries and personal care items to stock our local micropantries and mutual aid programs. It’s just one of the ways we give back to the community we love ❤️

Join us in wishing our Sarah a very happy birthday today! 🎉 Her next In Motion class is Thursday 10/29 at 6:30!

Way back when, when I never thought about exercise…because everything we did was! But the truth is, if you are not moving intentionally, things can go downhill quickly.

• Metabolism Slows: Sitting for long periods drops enzyme activity like lipoprotein lipase, which impairs your body’s ability to process fats and sugars.
• Muscle & Bone Loss: Inactivity triggers rapid muscle atrophy and lowers bone mineral density, increasing the risk of weakness and falls.
• Cardiovascular Strain: Insufficient movement stiffens blood vessels and raises blood pressure, doubling the risk of heart disease compared to active individuals.
• Cognitive Reduction: Prolonged sitting decreases blood flow to the brain and harms the hippocampus, the brain area responsible for memory.
• Mental Health Risks: Inactivity correlates with higher rates of anxiety and a roughly 30% greater risk of depression.

So Move with Meaning tonight at 6pm—your future self will thank you 💜

Good advice shared from our friend at Soul Sanctuary 🎃

October starts tomorrow, so I’m sharing our self-care calendar tonight! 🍂

Try a few of these little things throughout the month, no pressure to do them all but you deserve some of the care you’re giving everyone else 💜
