    Who do you have lead the fitness classes at your library. Is the person a certified instructor? I’m a librarian and interested in doing a similar program and am trying to figure out how exactly to go about doing it.

    • We have a librarian leading the fitness programs and make sure to have waivers that absolve the library of any liability as well as being careful to mention that “I am not a certified trainer, this is just for fun”. While I am currently studying to be a certified trainer (just for my own enjoyment), I am a librarian who loves exercise and wants to share it. I say DO IT! If you need any suggestions for materials to get started, feel free to email jzaker@saclibrary.org. – Jess
