Ease into your weekend with live instrumental music from Mike Tolan, enjoy some coffee, and a mindfulness meditation training with Lune.
Stop by the library at 11 am to browse the stacks, sip coffee from Bent Tree Coffee, and listen to music by Mike Tolan.
Mike Tolan is a guitarist who has been active in the northeast Ohio music scene since the early 2000s. He was notably a member of the city of Kent's The Six Parts Seven band and has played and recorded in multiple projects from folk to electronic, often focusing on building small ramshackle sound dioramas.
At 11:30 am, join Lune for Mindful Mornings.
“Mindful Mornings" is an introductory class to mindfulness and the practice of loving-kindness meditation. Each class will feature guided grounding exercises, relaxation techniques, mindful movement and meditations to help expand our awareness, compassion for ourselves, our community and our world. All are welcome at this class! Each morning will be a little different so if you miss one or two don't feel like you can't return. Just come to the next one that fits in your schedule! Attendees should bring a yoga mat/blanket/something comfortable to sit on (pillow). Chairs will be available to those who need them.
Lune (they/them) is completing a two year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, and has been practicing for over a decade.
This program is free and open to all ages, though Lune’s class is only appropriate for those who can be quiet and still for extended periods of time.

If you've found the historic Goodyear sign at the corner of East Market Street and Goodyear Boulevard, you've arrived at the Goodyear Branch Library. The library honors its past with its two 1939 fireplaces, cozy window seats, and artwork by local artists celebrating flight, motion, and the community's aeronautic roots. The library serves its customers very much in the present, with computers and computer classes, WiFi, scanning and faxing, engaging programming for all ages, and a collection of books, movies, and music that is sure to appeal to a great variety of reading, viewing, and listening tastes.
The Goodyear Branch Library is a community gathering place for local non-profit organizations and Ward Council meetings. Goodyear Branch staff can be found out and about at local events and in preschool, elementary, middle, and high schools bringing news of library events and sharing story and library how-to. With redevelopment in the community's horizon, Goodyear Branch Library remains a community anchor, continuing the tradition of responsive service to all.
