The Health Library at GFS is a satellite branch of the PlaneTree Health Library . Through this collaboration, GFS makes health and medical information more easily available to individuals and families in the East San José community. With assistance from our library coordinator, community residents can learn about health through a collection of over 700 books, videos, and pamphlets available in both English and Spanish.

The Health Library has an Internet work station where residents can find useful and trusted health and medical websites. The PlaneTree website includes recommended health sites, many of which are helpful for monolingual Spanish speakers.

Other health library services include:

• Specially prepared packets of health information by mail or pickup when residents are unable to do the research themselves
• Health topic presentations at our women's support group meetings and ESL classes
• Presentations at community events
