Look for new health materials soon!

As part of a $3,000 grant the library received recently, we will be able to purchase some new materials for the consumer healthcare section of our collection. This is VERY exciting for us! Our health materials tend to lean on the older side (to put it lightly) and the collection is thin in some vital areas. We will be purchasing materials to correspond with our workshops that are given in conjunction with Culbertson Memorial Hospital, but we'll be able to buy some books, DVDs, etc. in other areas as well.

What would YOU like to see the library buy?

Add your ideas to our growing wishlist:

*Autism
*Bi-polar disorder
*Diabetes
*Heart disease
*Weight loss/healthy eating
*Viruses and disease

We want your feedback so we can better serve you. What health topic have you tried to research, only to find out our books are out of date or we don't have any at all on the subject? What health condition do you think would be best explained through a video?

Start brainstorming and let us in on your thoughts by emailing us at beardlib@casscomm.com or adding a comment to the blog!

Funding for this grant was awarded by the Illinois State Library (ISL), a Division of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), under the federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
