SANFORD — It is winter, no doubt, and we’re in the middle of a cold snap. Still, it is good to get out, to take part in an activity and see other people — a recipe for remaining upbeat in the dead of winter.
Goodall Library, at 952 Main St. in Sanford, offers a number of ongoing classes and events, including two coming up this week and another later in January:
• Seated Yoga and Creative Movement meets the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. Folks can learn to reduce stress and tension, aches and pains, and insomnia, increase well-being and tone their body. Learn and practice stretches, yoga positions, tai chi exercises, and deep breathing while seated in a chair or standing. Classes are led by Cindy Simon, M.A., NCC, RMT. Upcoming dates are Jan. 3, Feb. 7, March 7 and April 4
• The Needle Crafters Group meets the first Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. Bring the needle crafting project you’ve been working on and join others for an evening of “work,” refreshment and socializing. If you’d like to learn or improve your skills, folks are there to help. Upcoming dates are Jan. 4, Feb. 1, March 1 and April 5.
• Coloring Calm meets the fourth Monday of the month at 6 p.m. Adults color in a relaxed group setting with soft music and refreshments, coloring sheets and materials provided (or folks may bring their own). Upcoming dates are Jan. 22 Feb. 26, March 26 and April 23
