  • JeffCo Health Department Update: March

    PAM HANNA RN, Jefferson County Public Health Supervisor|Mar 27, 2024

    The past few days have left me with some “spring fever.” The days are getting longer, temperatures are warmer, and I have felt rejuvenated. It is an excellent time to start fresh and refocus on our health and wellness. My fresh start often begins with spring cleaning. Cleaning and decluttering my home and outdoor space improves my physical environment, boosts my mental health, and allows me more time to enjoy warm-weather activities. I like to include my medicine cabinet in my spring...

  • Between the Stacks: 3/20/2024

    JEANNIE FERRISS, Whitehall Community Library|Mar 20, 2024

    One of the great things about belonging to the Broad Valleys Federation is the training they hold every spring and fall. Last week I enjoyed two days of learning, networking, and meeting the new librarians in our area. One of the training courses held was on leadership and taught by a retired Army Ranger who turned academic. His ideas on leadership definitely had a military slant but as the daughter of an army man who then worked with the military on construction projects, his presentation brought back how a truly well-run organization depends...
