Health, Heart & Soul

Start the year off on a healthy note...

Join BCPL and the American Heart Association on the 4th Tuesday of the month for four healthy lifestyle classes designed to create a healthier you all year long. Each class will explore a different topic—including healthy eating, fitness, sleep, and fighting stress—to help you make important connections and find the tools and information you need to improve your overall health regimen.
