Together, we are doing great things!
EPL programs are a great place to get support for your healthy new year -- just check out the list of EPL's January health programs below! These are a few of EPL's health programs available to the whole community with your financial support.

As we celebrate a healthy new year, we still have work to do to ensure that this means everyone in Evanston. Knowledge is power, and through a variety of programs, EPL is making health information accessible to all. Together, we are supporting a healthier community.

“Health disparities affect BIPOC communities not just for individual reasons but for systemic ones,” said Irene Williams, EPL Health and Wellness Librarian. “Our goal is to give people more tools to take charge of their own individual health while also highlighting the changes that need to be made on a broader, community level to change health outcomes.”
Together, we’re reducing health disparity in Evanston. Don't let 2023 leave without supporting EPL's annual campaign, which raises money for our programs and collections that break down barriers and enrich our community.Make your 2023 gift now.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!
