From the Editor's Desk

This has been a very busy year for PlaneTree Health Library, here behind the scenes. A long-time supporter's generosity has opened a door to the possibility of new community services. To explore what these might be, we have expanded our Board of Directors, recruiting a wider array of perspectives and skills, as well as fresh enthusiasm. We also said grateful goodbyes to two dedicated Board members: Evelyn Howard, who served as secretary and treasurer; and Susan Fuller, who astutely chaired our Board for over a decade.

During 2015 we have -
- begun work on a major revision of our website that will better enable you to connect with quality health information
- posted informative articles and fun tidbits on Facebook
- updated the book collections we maintain for two Good Samaritan Hospital units
- collaborated with Santa Clara County Library District to promote the District's reference services at PlaneTree Health Information Center.
These activities are continuing, even as we take a brief publishing break. This will be the last PlaneTalk issue of 2015. We hope our "News You Can Use" articles and event listings have enabled you to better understand and care for the health of yourself and your loved ones. If you value our work, please make a tax-deductible donation to support the research and creation of your favorite health e-newsletter.

We wish you a pleasant and peaceful holiday season, and a very healthy new year.
