The RPL Healing Library is a series of kits customized with books and resources to help a person, group or family navigate areas of trauma and personalize the healing process. Topics include depression, divorce and family change, gender identity, domestic violence, and various forms of grief.
The Healing Kits may be checked out to bring home or browsed at the library. Look for them in the Health Nook turret, located next to the Research & Reader Services desk. To view a full list of covered topics and request a kit, you can visit the Healing Library webpage.
The Healing Library was developed as part of the Reclaiming Your Story Civic Hub grant, graciously awarded through the Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) Direct Grant Program and funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This project aims to amplify local voices and changemakers through the art of storytelling.
