Body System Disorders: The Skeletal System-Assisting our Foundation as a Whole / Online Program 7:00 PM-8:00 PM Jun/Tue/2022 Presented by Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Physician Dr. Somesh N. Kaushik Tuesday, June 14 7-8 pm Registration is required. Register below or contact Donald, our Adult Program Coordinator, at adult@pawlinglibrary.org. NOTE: Dr. Kaushik’s informative health lecture was recorded on June 14th. If you were unable to attend this program, or would just like to review the information, click on the link below to watch the presentation. https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/eUFD8yjhmFYDmyLMAK_X3iuvckgbMjkMiZFvFVrCrbphbbK1HjihBxKRulHGvfT3.APDqs7BtF_eQ-2bV?startTime=1655248196000 The skeletal system is made up of the bones (the skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. Its primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs. It also is involved in the production of blood cells, storage of minerals, and endocrine regulation. While the adult human skeletal system includes 206 bones, the infantile skeletal system has many more, since not all of the bones have fused together yet. The mineral calcium helps your muscles, nerves, and cells work normally. If you do not get enough calcium in your diet, or if your body does not absorb enough calcium, your bones can get weak or will not grow properly. Your skeleton (bones) are a living organ. Teeth are not bones but are still part of the human skeletal system. Skeletal diseases include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis. Primary symptoms of skeletal disease, which may overlap with muscle and tissue conditions, include pain, stiffness, swelling, limited range of motion, weakness, fatigue, and decreased physical function. Ayurveda assists our foundation – the skeletal system – by addressing its components as a whole while analyzing and treating individual symptoms and issues. About our presenter: Dr. Somesh N. Kaushik is the owner and chief medical practitioner of Dr. Kaushick’s Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Clinic in Cross River, NY.

Each tree face sculpture will be photographed together with the tree that inspired you. These photographs will be displayed on the Pawling Library’s Instagram account.

All day Jun/Mon/2022-Jun/Tue/2022 -Pawling Free Library- 11 Broad St, Pawling NY 12564 Oceans of Possibility Summer Reading Challenge (All ages, grown-ups included!) Program runs 6/20 – 8/20 The 2022 Summer Reading Challenge has something for everyone! Whether your family is motivated by helping our community, earning brag badges that show off kids’ reading accomplishments, or a love of ice cream and other rewards, like free books and toys, we’ve got a challenge for you. Participants simply record the time they spend reading (or being read to) on a paper reading log or on our website. For each 150 minutes read, kids will earn brag badges they can wear or attach to their backpack. There’s other incentives kids can earn along the way too, like free books, stickers, and raffle tickets for bigger prizes, like HV Renegades Baseball tickets or a Kindle Fire. When participants read 1,200 minutes or more over the summer, they’ll earn a certificate of achievement. On top of individual prizes, the reading logged in our summer reading challenge helps our community grow! If Pawling can log 20,000 minutes read this summer, we will earn our community prizes: an ice cream celebration party and a Nintendo Switch that all ages can use in library programming. Logging reading time takes just minutes, so jump in; there’s a sea full of excitement ahead! Why summer reading? Studies show that over the summer break, students often experience academic backtracking, or lose the skills they already learned in school. And unfortunately this backtracking doesn’t just disappear when returning to the classroom. If not addressed, kids will experience compounding skill loss each year, which can leave them multiple grade levels behind their peers. Setting aside just 30 minutes to read each week over the summer can help better prepare students to re-enter the classroom in the fall. Register for our program with a paper log at the front desk, print your own, or log online with READsquared. For more information, contact children@pawlinglibrary.org.

All day Jun/Tue/2022-Jun/Tue/2022 -Pawling Free Library- 11 Broad St, Pawling NY 12564 Oceans of Possibility Summer Reading Challenge (All ages, grown-ups included!) Program runs 6/20 – 8/20 The 2022 Summer Reading Challenge has something for everyone! Whether your family is motivated by helping our community, earning brag badges that show off kids’ reading accomplishments, or a love of ice cream and other rewards, like free books and toys, we’ve got a challenge for you. Participants simply record the time they spend reading (or being read to) on a paper reading log or on our website. For each 150 minutes read, kids will earn brag badges they can wear or attach to their backpack. There’s other incentives kids can earn along the way too, like free books, stickers, and raffle tickets for bigger prizes, like HV Renegades Baseball tickets or a Kindle Fire. When participants read 1,200 minutes or more over the summer, they’ll earn a certificate of achievement. On top of individual prizes, the reading logged in our summer reading challenge helps our community grow! If Pawling can log 20,000 minutes read this summer, we will earn our community prizes: an ice cream celebration party and a Nintendo Switch that all ages can use in library programming. Logging reading time takes just minutes, so jump in; there’s a sea full of excitement ahead! Why summer reading? Studies show that over the summer break, students often experience academic backtracking, or lose the skills they already learned in school. And unfortunately this backtracking doesn’t just disappear when returning to the classroom. If not addressed, kids will experience compounding skill loss each year, which can leave them multiple grade levels behind their peers. Setting aside just 30 minutes to read each week over the summer can help better prepare students to re-enter the classroom in the fall. Register for our program with a paper log at the front desk, print your own, or log online with READsquared. For more information, contact children@pawlinglibrary.org. Register for Youth Programs!

Trees have much to say and can grow to be very old: the oldest living forms of life in our world. At this workshop we will be giving a face to a tree. Each tree face sculpture will be photographed together with the tree that inspired you. These photographs will be displayed on the Pawling Library’s Instagram account.
