2 The South Marysburgh Mirror Milford Library Branch Check It Out By Julie Lane Happy 2019 everybody! It's resolu(cid:415)on (cid:415)me again. Many people are resolved to read more in the New Year, but how do they persevere in their resolu(cid:415)on? Keeping a reading journal and/or joining a book club can really help. Apposite book sugges(cid:415)ons are also important, and that's where Novelist comes in. Novelist is a readers' advisory resource that's built into the Library's online catalogue. Click the "Novelist Content" tab when searching for books online to access curated read- alike recommenda(cid:415)ons, series informa(cid:415)on, reader ra(cid:415)ngs and reviews, book jackets, summaries, excerpts, and more. According to polls, the most common resolu(cid:415)ons are to eat a healthier diet and lose weight. For incorpora(cid:415)ng healthy ea(cid:415)ng habits into a busy day-to-day life, take a look at the newly-released book The Complete Plate by Lauren Klukas. It's a collec(cid:415)on of thirty meal plans, for diets of all caloric sizes, with each day balanced to provide 100% of your daily macro and micro nutrient needs. Also popular is The Keto Diet Cookbook by Leane Vogel. It's a follow-up to her best-selling The Keto Diet , which did away with the "one size fits all" philosophy, offering a customizable approach that is tailored to the unique needs of the individual. Kanopy can also help you meet your health and fitness goals. It's a video streaming service, similar to Ne(cid:414)lix, which is free for library patrons.

Each of the lectures, while suppor(cid:415)ng the overarching twenty-four structure of the course, is self-contained with easily accessible material. So whether you prefer the big-picture view or you want to start by delving deeper into a specific area of interest, the video series will meet your needs.
