Renovations are underway at the Hollins Library! This is a significant milestone as Hollins is the last branch in Roanoke County, Virginia to be updated.

Throughout the process, the library and capital improvement team have gathered feedback from the community to make sure patrons are getting what they want in the new library. Included in the renovations are more meeting spaces, outdoor areas and a makers space.

While Hollins is under construction, an express location is open at Green Ridge Recreation Center so patrons can still access library resources and check out the latest books!

If you spend your days driving, typing, or lifting, your shoulder mobility might be more restricted than you realize. For today's Movement Monday, Personal Trainer Joe M. is showing us a simple wall-corner stretch designed to open up tight shoulder complexes and relieve upper-body stress.

If you're tired of dealing with nagging shoulder tightness or want to unlock your full physical potential, our personal training team at Green Ridge is here to help. We build customized mobility and strength routines tailored exactly to your body's unique limits.
