On this continuation episode of the NNLM Discovery podcast, Region 5’s recently retired Outreach & Engagement Coordinator Michele Spatz shares how three more libraries in Region 5 used Collection Equity Outreach Awards to enhance collection equity and support health literacy in their libraries by acquiring more materials by diverse voices.
In a previous episode, Michele shared stories from Alaska, Hawaii and Nevada. This episode highlights California, Oregon and Washington, where recipients purchased non-traditional resources for their collections. Do you know what a Zine is? Learn how Oregon Health and Sciences University augmented their collection with zines to better reflect those patrons the library serves. In California, PlaneTree Health Library produced YouTube videos to boost their online collection. And finally, we visit Washington state where the Walla Walla County Rural Library District developed a program that assembled bilingual resource kits about various health topics.
In total, 27 NNLM Region 5 member organizations received the Collection Equity Outreach Awards, and each member organization submitted a bibliography of purchased materials. Region 5 compiled these bibliographies into the Diverse Voices Toolkit, a freely accessible toolkit of collection development resources for all to use.
All of the artwork for this podcast series has been created with a generative AI text-to-image tool! The text prompt for the episode's artwork was " a diverse group of people looking for books at a library as a dramatic oil painting.”

![Emergency Splinting for Fracture of Lower Extremity.. [Silent] (Petrolagar Laboratories, 1931)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ckCx2crNUgU/hqdefault.jpg "Emergency Splinting for Fracture of Lower Extremity.. [Silent] (Petrolagar Laboratories, 1931)
Traction is the force which reduces fractures and when applied early simplifies care. A flat canvas first aid bag is demonstrated by two men standing out of doors. The bag contains: one Thomas leg splint, half ring, hinged; one Thomas armsplint, half ring, hinged; a large piece of felt; coaptation wooden splints; tourniquet; small can of ether; one roll of adhesive tape; 1/2 dozen assorted bandages; 6 muslin cross pieces; 4 clips; safety pins; 2 wooden tongue depressors. These things are laid out on the pavement, one man pointing to each item. Doctor arrives by car at the scene of accident on narrow city street or alley. A bystander kneels beside the male victim who is lying on the pavement. Doctor brings canvas bag and pillow. They put the pillow under the victims head. A second, younger man jumps out of the car and helps the doctor remove the contents of the bag. The car drives off. Two pieces of muslin are hitched together and applied to victims foot, doctor and young man pulling on the strips. Doctor prepares Thomas leg splint while young man retains traction. Bystander buckles splint around victims thigh while doctor ties muslin to bottom of splint, increasing traction by tightening the hitch with a tongue depressor. All three men apply cross pieces of muslin beneath leg and clip them to splint. A hat blows along the pavement. The leg is bandaged into the splint, young man holding the foot as doctor unrolls the bandage around the leg. The heel is supported by an extra sling. Doctor ties muslin strips around the heel and adjusts clips on the splint. The victim is lifted onto a pole and canvas stretcher and carried off.
