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.

The Community Collections consist of objects shared from local community residents and organizations. Individuals have lent items of local significance to the library to give the larger community awareness and access. The original objects are not owned by the Lexington Public Library. 
 
Submissions for the Community Collections are open. If you are an individual or organization interested in possibly lending items to be digitized by the library, please contact elibrarian@lexpublib.org. We consider item age, location, content, relevance, privacy considerations, and item condition when determining items to add. Content donors must be the legal copyright holders if the item is not in the public domain.
