Hello MI Libraries!

I’m hoping that over the past few months you have been able to share the bookmarks and resources on BC3NP and WiseWomen (details below) with your communities. In January I am a part of a presentation with colleagues at MDHHS on how to partner within communities for improved women’s health access. My ask of you all is to send me an email with any stories, pictures, or quotes you’ve heard regarding these materials/resources, or how you have shared them while conducting outreach/community engagement.

No story is too small! I’d love to hear from you at LancasterC5@Michigan.gov and if anyone has them on display, feel free to send me a photo, too.  

Thanks so much,

Cathy Lancaster
