Collection Equity Award

We are building a collection for our young famiies in the area for Maternal Health and Early Family Health. We have slim pickings in our collection for topics like pregnancy, nutrition, literacy, breastfeeding, postpartum issues, child rearing, early childhood markers, neurodiversity, mental health, addiction, trauma and other related topics. What we do have in our collection is outdated. I would like this collection to be housed with the children's picture books as a genre- so parents can browse them instead of having come through many different Dewey Decimel numbers to those various topics. This will put health information for their young family at their fingertips. My goal is to have a new, scientific and modern collection in one place for new parents and their caregivers. The outcome will show we are an engaged library, that cares about the investment in maternal and family outcomes.
