    Winter Wellness Bingo
    This winter, try some book lover’s self-care with our wellness bingo!
    Now that everyone has had a chance to pick their first bingo prize, for each of first five bingo rows completed, you can pick something from our stash of wellness prizes. There are chocolates, mugs, books, and more!
    For every bingo row completed (up to five), you can enter the drawing for a self-care basket, filled with cozy, comforting goodies to help you through the winter. Wellness Bingo runs through the end of February. The drawing will be on Monday, March 1. Download a bingo sheet here (https://www.carverlibrary.org/uploads/1/5/7/7/15776228/wellnessbingo2021.pdfor pick one up at the library.

    Waldo Reads Together
    What if everyone in Waldo County read the same book and then joined together to talk about it? That’s the idea behind Waldo Reads Together, a local One Book program initiated by Aging Well in Waldo County.
    This winter, we invite all Waldo County residents ages 14 and up to join us in reading Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Nickel Boys. Our goal is to help alleviate some social isolation while also contributing to ongoing conversations about social justice, racial justice, equity and diversity.
    Waldo Reads Together is a partnership between Aging Well in Waldo County, Belfast Senior College, Waterfall Arts, Waldo County General Hospital’s Journey to Health program, the National Education Association Waldo County Teachers - retired, the local chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, the University of Maine Hutchinson Center, Waldo County Literacy Volunteers, and local libraries.

    Get a copy at the library or a local book store.

    February: Read the book and join a virtual, multigenerational discussion group
    March: Participate in online events related to the book
