that encourage families to get active and make healthy choices, including monthly
movement-based or healthy eating programs for families at the library, and enhanced library
collections for children on exercise, health, and nutrition. Health and wellness programs at
the San Pablo Library will provide simple, hands-on demonstrations of healthy activities
and support the Health Element of the City of San Pablo’s 2011 General Plan.

The Library will not implement the project.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This project will promote nutrition, exercise, and healthy choices among families in San
Pablo, thereby supporting the following outcome established in the Children’s Report Card:
