COVINGTON, Ky. — The Kenton County Public Library Covington Branch transformed into a center to get tips on how to live a happy and healthy lifestyle Saturday.

“I think we end up being the hub that can connect our patrons to services that they may not be aware of,” Kari Jones, programming coordinator at the library, said.

At this expo were several booths, demonstrations and resources, all under the umbrella of health and wellness.

One of the booths at this event was Optimal Life Home Therapy. Physical Therapist and Posture Expert Dr. Mandy Smith said health and wellness are extremely important.

“It is every day from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed,” Smith said.

She was providing information from a booth and also gave groups of people a demonstration and talk on posture. She wanted people to know what services Optimal Life provides.

“I’m able to bring those physical therapy and wellness services to them — where it is convenient and safe and in the comfort of their own home,” she said.

Smith said she enjoys seeing all these other resources gather alongside her at the library for people to learn something new.

Jones said it’s important to provide people with information and resources they may not have known were available to them. She said January was the perfect time for this event as people are looking on to new goals and aspirations as they start their year.

“We’ve kinda jumped on that new year — everyone sets their New Year’s resolutions, so just going at it with different aspects of health and wellness. It’s not all about fitness,” Jones said.

Jones said they’re hopeful to bring this back each year and even would like to see it come to other branches in the county.
