Historically, conversations regarding how public libraries and library staff address adult health issues center on informational exchanges at the reference desk. Librarian of Congress Carla D. Hayden noted, “The number one information request to public libraries in this country is for health information… We’re that trusted source” (Hayden & Galvin, p. 28). In addition to supporting individuals’ health through reference transactions, public library staff also increasingly support community health through programs that bring people together. In a recent review of the literature on public libraries’ capacity for supporting social connection and inclusion, Dalmer et al. (2022) identified that during the pandemic there was a noticeable increase in literature on how libraries support “people in need of social supports for their mental health and wellness” (p. 29) with programs and services that bring patrons together to support each other.
