See Coming Events on page 12 for more information. Exclusively for Friends of the Library members, Kate Cusumano will return for Great Reads, highlighting authors and new books in conjunction with the Tucson Festival of Books on Wednesday, January 12, 10 AM, Catalina Vista. Be sure to renew your membership now. Tickets are available in the Library. Please plan to join us for both events. Each week we are adding new books, DVDs and audio books to the Library. You can see these new items by logging into our Webopac online catalog system and clicking “browse new items.” You are welcome to reserve these items online, and our wonderful volunteers will put them on the hold shelf for you. We appreciate our Library volunteers, more than 40, who keep our Library running smoothly and provide a friendly and enjoyable service to our community. The Library will be closed for the following holidays in January: Saturday, January 1; Monday, January 3 and Monday, January 17. There are never any overdue fines, so please plan to enjoy your books a little longer on those weekends, as the book drop will be closed.
Recreation and Fitness - Lonnie Davis ldavis@suncityorovalley.com 520-917-8073 New Year, New Exercise It’s a new year, and maybe you’ve resolved to start an exercise program. If so, good for you. Getting regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do, and it’s one of the most common New Year’s resolutions of Americans each year. Just make sure you start off on the right foot with these helpful tips: Take it slow. Set small goals. After all, you’re in this for a lifetime. Talk to your doctor before getting started, especially if it’s been 8-12 months or longer since you’ve last exercised, you’ve had a large weight gain, or you’ve had a noticeable change in health. Evaluate your personality. Do you like to exercise alone, in a large group or with a partner? The answer to this question will help you decide what type of exercise will keep you motivated to stick with your new routine. Be safe. If you’re exercising outside, make safety a priority. Dress for the weather, wear reflectors and light colors if you’ll be out when it’s dark, and carry a cell phone with you.

Republic Services scov@republicservices.com www.suncityorovalley.com/members/services/trash
In December, all SCOV trash and recycle pickups changed to Monday. Don’t forget: Republic Services picks up between 6 AM and 6 PM on Mondays. You must have your trash and recycle bins out at 6 AM or you risk a missed pickup. SCOV has a dedicated customer service representative with Republic Services. Many of you are aware of the labor challenges the country is currently experiencing, and Republic Services highly encourages residents to email any service issues, rather than telephone, in order to receive the best service. Our representative can be reached at scov@ republicservices.com. This email is listed on the Republic magnet you received in your annual dues mailing. Visit our web page where you can find the following information: 1) Recycling: View a video and web page on what Republic takes in their recycling bins. Glass is accepted for recycling. 2) Holiday schedule: Check if you need to shift setting your bins out due to a holiday. 3) Report a problem: Missed pickup? Bin damaged?
