Update on the LSTA Health & Wellness Grant

The Easttown Library recently received a $5,000 Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Grant to update our adult health and wellness collection. Since receiving these funds, we have been busy purchasing current print, reference, audio, and DVD materials. These titles have replaced older items that contained dated information, thus improving the currency of the health information offered by the Library. We invite you to browse our plentiful display of health books containing many of the 116 new titles that we have purchased so far with the grant funds. This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services as administered by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Education and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Tom Corbett, Governor.
