Community Engagement Services
About
Lewis Library Community Engagement serves community members and partners to reduce barriers to quality health information. This is achieved through educational programming for adults, children, and professionals. Additional services focus on access and evaluation of patient and health resources through technology tools, health fairs, and exhibits.
The function of community engagement has been a unique feature in Lewis Library since the 1980s and fulfills the role as a resource library for the Network of the National Library of Medicine.
HOPE Directory
The HOPE Directory is a centralized source for reliable information about health organizations, programs, and events in the North Texas area. The directory is different than other community resources lists because the information is collected, curated, and verified by local medical librarians. HOPE was developed and is managed by Lewis Library.
