Resources for Kids and Parents During Library Closure

My Dear Friends,

May is here and our thoughts turn to warm sunshine, green grass, and the many flowers (courtesy of the April Showers). The best part of the warmer days? – We can take our books outside and read!!!! The month of May also brings an added bonus: Curbside Lending at the Hartland Public Library!!! Look here for more details!!!

Early Literacy Storytime through Zoom continues every Tuesday morning at 10:30 and every Tuesday through Friday, I continue to post the link to my Afternoon Reading Break. Poems With Amy! is still available on this page and something new: Aesop’s Fables! Everyday I find new links for programs and ideas for learning and play while we continue to practice social distancing. I will add them to the list – a few at a time.

I miss you and can’t wait to see everyone at the library! In the meantime, have fun, stay well, and keep reading!

Alexis Chesney, a naturopathic physician specializing in the treatment of diseases transmitted through tick bites, offers a comprehensive strategy for reducing exposure to disease-causing organisms and boosting the effectiveness of standard treatment protocols. With an overview of the tick species present in the U.S. and profiles of Lyme and other top diagnosed tick-borne diseases, including anaplasmosis and babesiosis, this guide gives concerned readers and medical professionals alike a deeper understanding of how tick populations — and associated illnesses — spread, and how to combat them naturally. (Amazon) Alexis Chesney MS, ND, LAc is a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist specializing in Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. Originally from New York, Dr. Alexis Chesney received a BA from Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts. She earned a Masters in Science in acupuncture from the University of Bridgeport Acupuncture Institute and a doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine, in Connecticut. Naturopathic residency brought Alexis to Vermont, where she has continued to work with a team of integrative practitioners at Sojourns Community Health Clinic, in Westminster. She has dedicated her practice to the treatment of Lyme and tick-borne diseases. She also has a private practice in Northampton, Massachusetts. She is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP), Vermont Association of Naturopathic Physicians (VANP), the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) and a founding full member of International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI). She has been featured as an expert on tick-borne illness at the ILADS conference, as well as at other professional and patient-focused conferences, on local talk radio, and in various news publications.

These are just examples and we can have fun with the categories. What is a book group meeting without snacks? Each month we'll send out a general idea for snacks. Maybe it's dip month, or chocolate month, healthy snack month, or not-even-a-little-bit-healthy snack month. The Hartland Library Virtual Book Group will meet using Zoom.
