The MCH Library: Leveraging Learning to Leadership

AbstractA library to support maternal and child health programs has existed in many forms from the founding of the Children ’s Bureau in 1912 to the current MCH Digital Library. The overarching goal of the library remains to serve the MCH community with accurate, reliable, and timely information and resources. Like the field of MCH, championed into existence by dedicated activists and nurtured by passionate, gifted peo ple over the decades that followed, today’s library is the result of the work of an unbroken chain of individuals devoted to its cause and with a vision for its future. The library website is a critical tool for the field where MCH stakeholders can access the work and wisdom of content experts in the field. All materials, whether in print or digital, are vetted, organized, and curated by librarians devoted to providing the field of MCH with the most relevant evidence-based, implementation-focused resources, links, and tools.
