Vail Public Library’s annual Healthy Lifestyle Series, an extension of our “Evenings of Engagement,” features programs that focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Programs include healthy habits for both the mind and body.
WALKING & SKIING BOOK CLUB
Winter Season (December – April) and Summer Season (May – September)
Our skiing book club meets on the 2nd Friday of each month. We will be meeting at the pizza shop next to the retail store off the gondola in Lionshead at 11:00a.m. to discuss the book and 11:30am to ski! Our Walking Book Club continues through the summer and autumn months, respecting our social distancing. Think of this as a social outing that provides the mental and physical activity essential to a healthy brain. Join us whether you have read the book or not; share what you are reading with us as we walk or share reading ideas with the rest of the group. The point is to get you moving and socializing with other readers! For more information on the walking and skiing book club, email Jo at JNorris@vail.gov
