Subject: [Michlib-l] Community Care Collection

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. <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__americanlibrariesmagazine.org_2025_01_02_no-2Dquestions-2Dasked-2Daddiction-2Dmental-2Dhealth_&d=DwMFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=sW0QtgsUF_VTgHYbMLAYDX2ikQwQhwFgtcNmyu5STJQ&m=zLn7Ioeag5UtZIj1AB-Ht-5tyFyF2NWcGTA6DJUKW0vPJepvYRGWbZpnES3j7zh0&s=H5yajbS9uDBz4zne-VKCkWWf4ZN0MgQKExnobKiE8U4&e=>

Thank you for your help getting the word out,
