Yates County Public Health Cancer Prevention
2025-01-24 12:00 - 14:00
Everyone loves to share their opinions. Don’t you? We all have our own; it’s what makes us different from each other. Besides our DNA, of course. I won’t give you a science lesson about that… If you are looking to have a good conversation about some serious topics, look no further! On Friday, January 24 from 12 to 2 p.m., we will be welcoming our friends Caiti and Emily from Yates County Public Health to talk about cancer prevention and chronic disease. Whether you have cancer, know a loved one with it, or haven’t been touched by the illness before, these ladies want to hear what you have to say. They may ask you some things like: “How do you think food affects your chances of getting cancer?”, or “Do you feel comfortable discussing cancer prevention with your healthcare provider?”. Your thoughts, opinions, and answers will help shape a huge cancer prevention campaign. This is your chance to do something big, and important, for your community. Not only are these questions going to help this campaign, but it is also going to assist in connecting the community with Yates County Public Health! Plus, they will be giving away free goodies to anyone that stops by to have a chat! Who doesn’t love a free goodie? Make sure to come and say hello!

We all know someone that is a little more outgoing than we may appreciate. They wear loud clothing and speak in the same tone. However, we love them with all our heart. You can’t imagine them any other way. It’s the same thing in the animal kingdom. Some animals are a little more ferocious than others. In the Dundee Library’s story time on Thursday, January 23 at 3:30 p.m., join them to read “Tacky the Penguin” by Helen Lester to hear all about how one penguin’s friends find him annoying. That is, until one day they realize how special he really is. Everyone that joins in the story will have the opportunity to create their very own peculiar penguin

Pinecones are cool, right? You can do lots of things with them. They can even be sentient beings! The Dundee Library, for example, would love to have a pinecone as a friend. Who wouldn’t? Pinecones are the best. If you want to have a pinecone as your friend, look no further! You can at least read about them at the Dundee Library’s story time on Wednesday, January 22 at 11 a.m. Join them while they read “Penguin and Pinecone: A Friendship Story” by Salina Yoon. After the story, you’d wish even more for a pinecone to be your friend.

The Dundee Library believes in fairytale creatures. How couldn’t they? Dragons, fairies, vampires, werewolves, selkies, centaurs, wizards and witches, etc. It’s all within the pages of wonderful stories. The biggest question is whether a Snow Dragon is real. What do you think? The Dundee Library believes in them. Is the frost on your window really just frost, or is it frostfire? Find the answer in the Dundee Library’s story time on Thursday, January 16 at 3:30 p.m. while they read “Frostfire” by Elly MacKay. After the story, stick around to create your own Snow Dragon!

Have you ever been so hungry you could eat a horse? Sorry, horses! Not literally. Well… No, absolutely not. Winter is a tough time for our dear woodland creatures. Foraging is far from easy during these bleak, desolate months. Winter is never willing to share her food, and neither are any of the animals in the woods. If only they would learn that working together is better than fighting. If you want to stop fighting about what book you’re going to read, look no further! The Dundee Library has just the story for you on Thursday, January 9 at 3:30 p.m.! They will be reading “In the Winter Woods” by Daniela Kulot. If you’re still hungry after the story, there will be a craft! You will have the opportunity to create pop-up snowflakes. Although they’re not edible, they will satisfy your hunger to craft.

No matter the creature, the Dundee Library has just the story to get them to sleep. Join them on Wednesday, January 8 at 11 a.m. to read “Harold Hates to Hibernate” by Vern Kousky.

Author Visit: Freedom Village USA: Ask Me Anything with Mary Rosenberger

Freedom Village USA: Ask Me Anything with Mary Rosenberger
Dundee author Mary Rosenberger grew up in Freedom Village USA, which claimed to be a Christian home for troubled teens on Seneca Lake. Through its atmosphere of fear and controlling leader, Mary suffered spiritual abuse and came to see Freedom Village for what it was: a religious cult, though full of well-meaning followers. Ask Mary anything about her unique inner-circle story from her family’s thirty-year staff residency and eventual exodus from Freedom Village.

Join Mary for a reading from her memoir and an ask-me-anything Q&A session at the Dundee Library from 12 p.m. on Saturday, December 14. “Freedom Village: A Memoir” debuts on November 21.

About Mary Rosenberger
Mary Rosenberger is the author of the blog Out from the Inside, where she first documented her upbringing in a religious cult—and her eventual escape from its grasp. “Freedom Village: A Memoir” is Mary’s first book. She lives with her family in Dundee.
