Collection Equity Award - San Bruno Public Library

We would purchase electronic and/or physical books and audiobooks on health topics in both fiction and nonfiction and make them available to the public as part of the library’s collection. These materials would be in both English and Spanish and would be part of the library’s featured booklists. The library already has plans to coordinate with the local school district’s Wellness Coordinator for a health fair at the Library in April or May showcasing community resources and healthy habits for the students and families of the 2 elementary schools closest to the library. This event brings community partners, school district staff and bilingual library staff together to promote health resources and healthy lifestyles in the community. The grant would be a timely support of that effort.
