The Fun Habit: How the Disciplined Pursuit of Joy and Wonder Can Change Your Life is the ultimate guide to reap the serious benefits fun offers. Grounded in current research, accessible science, and practical recommendations, Dr. Rucker will use The Fun Habit strategies to teach you: How you can build having fun into an actionable and effortless habit; and Why doing so will help you become a healthier, more joyful, more productive person.

Tuesdays 10am-12pm & Thursdays 2pm-4pm Ruby's Book Club- "The Last Report of the Little Miracles at No Horse" Ruby's Book Club- "The Last Report of the Little Miracles at No Horse" 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm "The Last Report of the Little Miracles at No Horse" by Louise Erdich "In a masterwork that both deepens and enlarges the world of her previous novels, acclaimed author Louise Erdrich captures the essence of a time and the spirit of a woman who felt compelled by her beliefs to serve her people as a priest. The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horsedeals with miracles, crises of faith, struggles with good and evil, temptation, and the corrosive and redemptive power of secrecy. For more than a half century, Father Damien Modeste has served his beloved Native American tribe, the Ojibwe, on the remote reservation of Little No Horse. Now, nearing the end of his life, Father Damien dreads the discovery of his physical identity, for he is a woman who has lived as a man. To further complicate his quiet existence, a troubled colleague comes to the reservation to investigate the life of the perplexing, possibly false saint Sister Leopolda. Father Damien alone knows the strange truth of Leopolda's piety, but these facts are bound up in his own secret. He is faced with the most difficult decision: Should he tell all and risk everything . . . or manufacture a protective history for Leopolda, though he believes her wonder-working is motivated solely by evil? The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse is a work of an avid heart, a writer's writer, and a storytelling genius.https://www.amazon.com/Last-Report-Miracles-Little-Horse/dp Dungeons & Dragons In Person (4th-12th grade) Dungeons & Dragons In Person (4th-12th grade) 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Jump in and join the adventure!
