Throughout the fall of 2023 and into the winter for 2023, the Lexington Public Library will be embarking on a strategic visioning process that will guide library programs and services for the next three years.
The Luna Library, a program of Believing in Forever, collects and distributes children's books with an African American history or Black character focus. It is an alternative for African American parents looking for books that provide context and knowledge to understand the stories of the African American experience in this country for their children. Believing in Forever is a champion of diversity and inclusion, and the positive impact books have on children of all races.

After a 7 question "At Risk Assessment", BLDP will allow the participant to take an A1C diabetes screening which provides a score that reflects the average amount of blood sugar (glucose) for the last 3 months. Results are not dependent on what the participant just had to eat or drink, so no need to fast before the program.
