Breathe Easy at Your Library

In partnership with Cornerstone Caregiving, the East Branch is hosting a four-part monthly series focused on breathing techniques to relieve stress for seniors, as well as caregivers! Each session runs 30 minutes and is structured so that you can attend all four or drop in for just one. All four sessions will take place in the Community Room at RPL's East Branch on East State Street. Join us at the library and learn to breathe a little easier!
