Two Librarians & A Microphone

We sit down with the Director of Broward County Library, Kelvin Watson, to discuss their award-winning program, BCLFit Wellness Centers. This pilot program launched to combat cultural, physical and economic barriers that interfere with healthy choices and active lifestyles and has been recognized by the Urban Library Council (ULC) as a 2018 Top Innovator in the Health, Safety and Sustainability category. The Wellness Centers are designed to nurture a healthy lifestyle for 200 families living near two library branches in food deserts. BCLFit provides nutrition and fitness counseling and access to free workout equipment, personal trainers, and healthy lifestyle classes for people of all ages.
