The Perry Public Library is hosting a program on “mindfulness” at its March Lifelong Learners Coffee.

The speaker will be therapist Emily Smith, a licensed independent social worker from Prairie Wellness in Des Moines, who will share her expertise on mindfulness practices and mindfulness based stress reduction and lead participants in a guided meditation.

The program is free and open to the public. Library staff encourages attendees to bring a friend, enjoy coffee and conversation, and learn something new. The program will be held Monday, March 27, at 9:00 a.m., in the large meeting room.
