New Jersey strikes a blow against banning books
Nice News - More than just hubs for bookworms, libraries are becoming destinations for nourishing your mind and
body (and possibly your soul in the process). Public health programs
are making their way into libraries throughout the U.S., offering
everything from fitness classes to blood pressure monitors to group discussions about loneliness. The best part? Most of these services are free, and everyone is eligible to partake in them...
Libraries for Health, an initiative offering mental wellness services in central Texas, has received over $3 million
from St. David’s Foundation — and it’s focusing on advancing health
equity in the state. “It’s in no way taking the place of
clinical-directed psychologists,” Abena Asante, the foundation’s senior
program officer, told Public News Service. “It’s just one community
response in addressing the lack of mental wellness resources in rural
communities.”
