nNON-SURGICAL, REGENERATIVE PROCEDURE FOR PAIN

On Monday, January 26 at 7 p.m., Dr. Paul Lieber, of Rehabilitation and Pain Specialists, will explain this promising pain treatment that helps heal damaged tissues, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, spinal disc or bone. He has been featured on WTAE-TV discussing this non-surgical procedure that uses a patient’s own stem cells and blood platelets to treat common injuries and degenerative joint conditions, such as osteoarthritis. This non-surgical treatment has proved highly successful in returning patients to a functional lifestyle. The procedure may reverse some of the arthritic process and help many people avoid major surgery. Dr. Lieber is the current president of the American Association of Orthopaedic Medicine.

nUSING MINDFULNESS TO CHANGE YOUR ORGANIZING HABITSOn Thursday, January 22, at 7 p.m., Joyce Wilde, author of the book,TheWildeWoman’sGuide

If we only address the symptoms of disorganization, according to Wilde, and don’t get to the root

causes, it’s like mowing dandelions in your yard – they’ll grow right back. Her book will be available for those who would like to purchase a signed copy.

TAX PREPARATION ASISTANCE COMING IN FEBRUARY – We will once again be partnering with AARP to offer tax prep for senior citizens and low-income residents. More information will be available in our February newsletter.

It’s a common misperception that many of our staff members at the library are volunteers. While we do rely heavily on our volunteers to run certain aspects of the library, namely the Book Nook, and other various roles, most of the people who assist you at the library are staff members. We are introducing this new section of the newsletter to give you an idea of the wonderful resources you have available to you at Northland through our staff members.

Our customer service representatives are some of the busiest bees in the library. Did you know that you can register for a library card; pay lost item or late fees; fill out a proxy form to have others collect your library items for you when you can’t make it to the library; get a Nanny/Granny/Neighbor Card which is basically temporary library membership for juvenile patrons; find out about that forgotten due date or item on hold; check out library items and even make a monetary donation to the library’s foundation with one of our representatives? Our customer service representatives are the information hub at the library and are happy to assist you with a smile. Stop in and say hello.
