Collection Equity Award Y3 - Upper Skagit Library


For this project, the Upper Skagit Library will be updating and diversifying our current public health collection. Our current collection is out of date and was haphazardly put together through donations, and lacks any diverse voices or identities. This award would allow us to create a collection that reflects our current community and it's health challenges, as well as allowing us to work with the community to create a collection that reflects community need.
