YumaBev talks about Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month and National Library Week

Sarah Wisdom of the Yuma County Library District has a weekly spot on KSWT, our local CBS station in Yuma, Arizona.  She invited me to be her guest on Tuesday, April 10th and we talked about how the Library and Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month joined forces for good. This was a live TV spot, so there is no video from the station. My Wonderful Husband recorded the show on the DVR and then set up a camera and video taped the TV, so that we can share it with all of you.  

I hope you enjoy it.  Sarah was just as bubbly in person as she was during the interview and I hope we get to work together in the future.

Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month - PDF and Yuma County Libraries team up with Yuma Bev

I ordered pamphlets from the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF), then I stopped and talked to Iris, the manager of my local branch Library about setting up a display for Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month.  She loved the idea and she suggested that I talk to someone at the Main Library.  I talked to the Main Library and they said they'd be happy to do something county wide, so I gave all the pamphlets to Iris and she would take them to the next managers meeting.

WOW!

Yesterday I went in to my local branch and Iris had set up a beautiful display. I had my camera with me and I snapped a few pictures.

Later in the day, I stopped in to the Main Library and they had set up a wonderful display as well.

It was easy, I ordered materials and then asked my library to set up a display. I bet you could get your local library to do the same thing.
