New Grab and Go Bags Collaboration with Lakelands Public Health

We are excited to introduce four new additions to our Grab and Go Bags collection, created in collaboration with Lakelands Public Health. With their expert guidance and book recommendations, these new bags focus on key topics that support children’s well-being: Childhood Stress, Resilience and Coping Skills, Healthy Relationships, and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

These titles were thoughtfully recommended by staff at Lakelands Public Health with the goal of helping local children and their families lead safe, healthy, and happy lives.
