SOCIAL SERVICE RESOURCES

Resource Studio at Central Library

Staffed by Peer Service Specialists Justin and Kayla, the Resource Studio at Central Library provides a range of resources to address immediate needs like:

  • Assistance in scheduling appointments
  • Connecting individuals to a variety of support needs with community organizations like CHAS, Transitions, SRHD, Providence, and Community Minded Enterprises etc. 
  • Navigating and connecting individuals to employment, housing, mental health and recovery services 
  • Offering warm/cold weather supplies
  • Providing emotional support
  •  & much more

Kayla and Justin, both Certified Peer Counselors, underwent rigorous training, including 40 hours of instruction and a state exam, to acquire their certification. 

RESOURCE EVENTS

Our team offers various events tailored to support community members facing challenges. Quarterly Project ID Events provide assistance with obtaining or replacing Washington State identification cards for those experiencing homelessness, facilitated in collaboration with DSHS, WA Department of Licensing, and Spokane Regional Health District. 

Coffee & Conversations, held weekly at Central Library at 10:30am, fosters community connection through open dialogue over coffee, encouraging all voices to participate in a welcoming environment.

Central Library is also the location for Community Court.

REACH THE POPULATIONS THAT NEED YOUR SERVICES MOST

Does your business offer help and resources to individuals facing obstacles with housing, healthcare, employment, mental health, or other social services? There may be ways we can help you reach the audience that needs your services the most. 

We offer opportunities for partnering organizations to set up resource tables at the library on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis to provide resources to patrons (see upcoming event listing below for examples). 

Reach out to knielsen@spokanelibrary.org to schedule time on our calendar.
