Five Things You Need to Know Today: March 11

The Plymouth Public Library's Main Branch has opened its non-fiction stacks.

 

1. The Plymouth Public library's main branch opened its non-fiction stacks March 9. The wing has been closed for three weeks; since a pipe burst after the February blizzard. Re-shelving everything is still an on-going process and all of the books may not be perfectly back in place. "Please bear with us as we continue working on this section in the weeks ahead," was posted on the library's website.

2. Jordan Hospital will host the American Cancer Society’s “Look Good, Feel Better” program from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday, March 11, in the Breast Center Conference Room, at 275 Sandwich St., Plymouth. Look Good, Feel Better is offered through a partnership of the American Cancer Society, the Personal Care Products Council Foundation and the Professional Beauty Association/National Cosmetology Association. It is a free program that teaches cancer patients hands-on cosmetic techniques to help them cope with appearance-related side effects from chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments. Wig care, scarf and hat use, skin and nail care will all be discussed, and all participants will receive a free makeup kit. Registration is required by calling Maureen Kwash at 508-897-4339 or emailing Maureen.Kwash@cancer.org.

4. Margaret McGee, author of He’s Right Here, will sign copies of her book at a free event at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 13, at the Book Shack, located in the Independence Mall. After her youngest son, Brendan, died unexpectedly, McGee, a retired nurse, wrote a book to help her and others deal with the loss of a child. This book is about a mother’s journey from paralyzing grief to healing, from despair to hope. When tragedy strikes and life is lost, those left in the wake often have a litany of questions. One question in particular is, what happens to our loved ones once they pass on? McGee believes she has found the answer: They’re right here with us. To learn more, visit www.thebookshack.com.
