Collection Equity Award


We would review our collection of ebooks and audiobooks to find areas where we could increase the number of books available to patients and community members across the MaineHealth system. Our primary focus would be around non-English books, audiobooks, and graphic novels in order to have information accessible to people who have challenges with reading English-only, text-only books.
