Thanks to a generous grant, the HMS library has added new books supporting mental, social, physical, and emotional health. In December alone, our students checked out almost 4,000 books, averaging four per student! Help us kick off the year right by returning any overdue library books—look for HMS barcodes and spine stickers in those hidden spots! Find out more in this month's HMS Library Newsletter.
