impt points. Libraries expanding services and programs to benefit the people, esp much needed health services and to survive is all the better.

For decades, public institutions have been diminished or replaced by the profit sector - roads, parks, transportation systems, schools, hospitals, mail services, and governments. I think this community health program is very worthwhile and a smart move by public libraries.

When I was growing up Civic Centers were active in sponsoring community events like music concerts, antique shows, garden and auto exhibits etc before the era of big business operated arenas by private corporations like FedEx, Verizon and Citibank.
