Collection Equity Award


We propose using the funds from the Collection Equity Award to expand our collection of books at the school related to the intersection of health and diversity, with a focus on mental health, wellbeing, and inclusion. We will also include titles that provide guidance on being an advocate for health equity. We will also explore specialized collections in graphic medicine/comics to better engage reluctant readers on complex health topics by adolescents.
