ADULT PROGRAM
Guided Meditation for Summer Rest
with Hester Brooks
August 15, at 3:00 p.m.
Local wellness coach Hester Brooks will be at the Rockport Public Library for a free guided meditation class designed to help participants keep cool in midsummer. In between vacations, houseguests, and adventures, it's easy to burn out.
Participants are invited to either sit in chairs (provided by the library) or bring something to lie down on. Brooks will use guided imagery to lead participants through breath and body sensing — helping them reach a deep state of peace and calm. Learn more about Hester's work at: restwithhester.com

The Friends of the Rockport Public Library introduces library lovers to each other while building connections throughout our community. Hosting meetings, events, and book sales, the organization supports the library on several levels. In past years, we have helped purchase library materials; supported the annual butterfly gardens; provided new book stacks and exterior railings; and funded programs that serve everyone using the library. CLICK HERE to learn more about volunteer and membership opportuntities.
The Foundation is an IRS 501.c3 not-for-profit organization formed in 2018 by a small group of dedicated Rockport residents to raise the required funding for the new Rockport Public Library. While we successfully raised the initial funding for the building and furnishings, we’ve now set our sights on developing a world-class speaker series. CLICK HERE to learn more.
