Cardio Drumming – Love County Library
Cardio Drumming is back at Love County Library! Seniors are invited to join the fun every Monday and Wednesday at 2:00 PM from November 2nd through November 18th. Led by experienced YMCA Fitness Instructor Susan Cowlbeck, these classes offer a high-energy, accessible fitness opportunity for older adults in the community. Call now to reserve your spot!
Cardio drumming is a dynamic group fitness workout that combines rhythmic drumming with aerobic exercise. By elevating the heart rate, the class provides a strong cardiovascular workout, burns calories, tones muscles, and helps build upper-body strength. The sessions are low-impact, making them safe for all ages, fitness levels, and individuals with minor injuries. Participants can also modify movements for seated or standing positions, ensuring the class is adaptable and inclusive.
In addition to physical benefits, Cardio Drumming supports mental and cognitive health by improving hand-eye coordination, motor skills, focus, and memory. This energetic drumming class also serves as a fun and expressive way to relieve stress.
Love County Library is offering this program as part of a health literacy grant from the Oklahoma Department of Libraries (ODL). The program is funded in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Book Club – Wilson Public Library
Join friends at the Wilson Public Library for their book club at 5:30 PM on Thursday, October 29th. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book, “Here One Moment” by Liane Moriarty, will be discussed. Books will be available for pickup starting Thursday, October 1st.
Life is full of surprises, but what if you could predict them? On her twenty-eighth birthday, flight attendant Allegra Patel faces a delayed flight with anxious passengers: a father worried about missing his daughter’s musical, an overwhelmed mother, newlyweds, and a talkative nurse. Suddenly, a woman walks the aisle, foretelling how and when people will die. Passengers react with disbelief, excitement, or horror. Months later, one of her predictions comes true.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Wilson Public Library at 1087 US Hwy. 70A in Wilson or call (580) 668-2486. The Wilson Public Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.

Participants will learn Kinusaiga, a contemporary Japanese art form, and use it to make a colorful pumpkin. Fabric scraps are pressed into pre-cut grooves on a foam board to build layered, textured artwork, and no sewing is required. This class is open to ages 16 and up, and advanced sign-up is required.
