WISE WALKIt’s not too late to join the 10-week Wise Walk
program that started in April. Each Tuesday in May and Tuesdays in June (through June 23) at 9:30 a.m., those who enjoy walking will meet at Pie Traynor Field in North Park for a 30-45 minute walk led by a volunteer.

The Wise Walk program is spon-sored by Northland Library and the Allegheny County Library Association. No registration is required.
MEDICAL ETHICS: LET’S TALK ABOUT ITMedical care is a very important topic for
everyone. The ethical guidelines that direct that care is a topic we speak about at times but a subject most know little about. What is involved in medical ethics training? How are medical eth-ics implemented in hospitals and in your visits to your physician? What role do medical ethics play in health care emergencies and life and death decisions?
On May 7, at 7 p.m. Sarah Stockey, Supervisor of the Center for Healthcare Ethics at Duquesne University and Jason Byron, Manager of Medi-cal Ethics at UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside will share information on this vital topic and answer your questions about the practical applica-tions of medical ethics. The discussion will also include end-of-life directive options and how to effectively express your medical care wishes. Join us for this important discussion, sponsored by Northland Library and the Allegheny County Library Association. Registration is required.

ATTENTION DEFICIT SIMULATION: WALK IN THE SHOES OF A CHILD WITH ATTENTION ISSUES
On Thursday, May 21 at 7 p.m. join us for an attention simulation workshop that will demonstrate what it feels like to have ADHD. Parents, family members and caregivers will benefit from experiencing activities that simulate learning with weak attention, difficulty following simple two or three-step directions and difficulty absorbing incredible amounts of sensory information.
The simulation activities will be followed by a question and answer session with Dr. Anthony Kovatch of Pediatric Alliance and Dr. Carol Utay, Executive Director of Total Learning Centers. Registration is required for this program.
GOOD POSTURE, GOOD HEALTHRemember the days when our parents would say, ‘stand up straight’?
They had our best interests in mind, but we often ignored the advice. Whether you’re hoisting a back pack or working at your desk or walk-ing the dog, correct posture is important to avoid back, neck and shoulder pain. Poor posture can contribute to headaches and diges-tive, breathing and circulation problems. Good posture is especially important in today’s technology-driven world, where we are constant-ly slouching over computers, video games, smartphones and tablets.On Thursday, May 28 at 7 p.m., Laura Burke and Allie Greene, owners of Equilibrium Pittsburgh, a Pilates studio in Wexford, will talk about the connection between posture and health while guiding you through some simple exercises you can do at home to improve your posture and well-being. Wear comfortable clothes and join us for a National Correct Posture Month program. Registration is required.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Name: Beverly Niceswanger Residence: Ross TownshipVolunteer Assignment: Book Nook
Why Beverly volunteers at Northland:Beverly decided to volunteer at Northland Library because her first job after high school graduation was at the
Carnegie Library in Oakland. As Beverly states, “I can honestly say that was my favorite job except for being a mom. So when I retired, I was fortunate enough to come upon the position in the Book Nook.” Beverly enjoys volun-teering in this setting because it allows her to interact with the patrons of the library and has provided the opportunity
for her to meet some very interesting and enjoyable people. The requirements for Book Nook volunteers include an on-going, firm commitment to the shift to which they are assigned. While the volunteers
at the Book Nook greatly enjoy their weekly time spent dealing with patrons, the Library benefits from a variety of services stemming from the efforts of the Book Nook manager in collaboration with her team supporters.
