Hello all,
CDL is excited to share a new collection we've just launched: our Community
Care Collection. This collection consists of free resources and books on
stigmatized or sensitive topics such as domestic violence, addiction,
mental health, divorce, LGBTQ health, veteran health, and more. Patrons may
take these books with no need to check them out or return them. The new
collection is located in a discreet corner of the library lobby, ensuring
privacy for patrons accessing the resources. All of the titles and
resources were chosen with assistance from our Community Social Worker, and
we received funding and support from the Chelsea Rotary Club, as well as
materials from the Washtenaw County Health Department.
We are located in Western Washtenaw County. If you know of patrons who
might benefit from these resources, please send them our way. No library
card or ID of any kind is required. Patrons can take the books or handouts
without even speaking with the library staff if they prefer.
The Community Care Collection was inspired by library collections featured
in an American Libraries article, No Questions Asked.
