In the past year, the library filled over 4,000 interlibrary loan requests saving more than $120,000, educated parents about health information sources, and provided instruction to various medical programs. Going forward, the library aims to present at research conferences, start an employee art gallery and workshop series, and become more involved in evidence-based practice guidelines.
