With the approaching Flu season there is a lot to think about regarding staying healthy. I think that good old fashioned hand washing, plenty of sleep, and a healthy diet go a long way in preventing illnesses. Having said that, it can be a long tough winter up here and we contend with a lot of imported viruses. In my house we do a large quantity of Vitamin C, Garlic, 5 day rotations of Echinacea, and relentless hand washing. Still, we do have our bouts with the usual "crud" every now and then during the winter. I like to be informed on any decision I make, especially ones that involve my family. Please join us on Friday, October 9, at 9:30 a.m. in the Children's Area for a discussion on immunization facilitated by Kendall Chieciuch, for further information please call 728-4519 ext.23. Here are some sites regarding Flu season and Flu shots to help keep you informed. Have a healthy season and see you the library.
