HCHL at Nuestras Raíces : Nuestras Raíces [Our Roots] provided rent-free space for HCHL's first library service. From Feb 2003 thru August 2004, we operated a "Pilot Library" there on Wednesday mornings 10am - noon. We furnished that room with donated shelves and furniture. By mid 2005, NR staff had expanded into the space, and HCHL moved on to 5 other sites. We thank NR for our beginnings, our roots.

HCHL at Holyoke Health Center : The Holyoke Health Center's plans to create a "Medical Mall" in downtown Holyoke inspired Sandy in February 2000 to propose the idea of a consumer health library in Spanish and English for Holyoke residents. HCHL, Inc. was formed in July 2001. The grand opening of the HHC's remodeling of Epstein's former buildings happened in Feb 2006. HCHL works with HHC staff to improve access to quality health information.
