Brain Night

A representative from Marbles: The Brain Store came to the library to talk about "Brain Fitness 101." It turns out that our brains don't stop growing in our teens as experts once believed. Thanks to a revolutionary idea called "neuroplasticity", we now know that you can generate new brain cells and form new connections at any age. The trick is to train all major brain functions to keep those synapses synapsing - whether you're eight or 108. They brought products that fell into five key brain functions; critical thinking, memory word skills, visual perception and coordination. We were able to play with the products that night and purchased some of these products for library patrons to use at the library.
