Family Wellness Library

Nurture has a Family Wellness Lending Library set to open as soon as we get the books shelved! The library has almost 200 titles including books, DVDs, magazines/zines, and other media all related to family wellness issues. Topics found in the library include:

  • infant/child health
  • infant/child development
  • helpful children’s books (for example the books in this list)
  • parenting
  • adult health
  • nutrition
  • breastfeeding
  • birth
  • pregnancy
  • fertility
  • emotional wellness
  • family recreation
We already have quite a collection started, and are excited to be able to offer this to our community very soon. The library catalog will be listed here when the library opens.  If you have suggestions of titles that are a must for the library, we would love your input. And if you have any extra books, etc. that you want to pass on, we welcome your contributions. Please contact us at info@nurturepdx.com.
We are just one of many family wellness libraries in Portland.  Several other local organizations have excellent resources on-hand for families and professionals.

Birthing Way College of Midwifery Library (an enormous collection of resources related to pregnancy, birth, postpartum, family, wellness, and more)
BirthMatters.info Library (a collection of books related to birth choices, housed at Milagros Boutique)
