ACCESS CODE: LIVEWELL2021 LIVEwell Spotlight of The Month! Patty Miranda, Adult Librarian II, Los Angeles Public Library LIVEwell Programming helped me during numerous overwhelming situations while I telecommuted. I was distance learning with my child, using a new platform for work and in the process of moving to a new home. The uncertainty of the world was creating so many emotions and my physical and mental state was low. Having LIVEwell provide yoga, meditation, kickboxing, cooking and organizational online courses was a get away from the chaos. Thank you so much for your hard work and quick response to the demand.
