Join us downtown for the Get Fit Festival, Sept. 24 and Sept. 27 at the Jácome Plaza. Reconnect with nature and fitness in fun and healthy ways!
On Wednesday, September 24th the Take a Breath Break program will be presented by the Wellness Council of Arizona in the library’s lower level meeting room from 11:30 a.m. to Noon and from 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. This workshop is designed to offer a tool for stress reduction and rejuvenation. Breath work is over 3000 years old and is based on the “Practice of Mindfulness”. Biometric studies show that 5-minutes of breath work offers the same levels of recovery as a 20-minute nap.
Also on Wednesday, September 24th, The City of Tucson and the Tucson Presidio Trust will present a talk and a tour of El Presidio San Agustin del Tucson in the library’s lower level meeting room from noon to 12:30 p.m. This lecture will be a brief history of the Tucson Presidio and the people that were the first European settlers of Southern Arizona. We’ll explore why Tucson was founded and how the settlers succeeded in creating the community we live in. The presentation will be followed by an optional walking tour of El Presidio San Agustin del Tucson which will include an introduction to the reconstructed Presidio wall, a prehistoric Hohokam Pithouse, and to a renovated Territorial Rowhouse. The tour will also involve a short discussion about the Santa Cruz River.
