The Health Information Project provides materials that focus on teen health and social issues and substance abuse prevention through public libraries in the five counties served by the Mid-Hudson Library System: Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Putnam, and Ulster. With an MHLS library card, you may borrow these materials for free from any library in the System.

Recommended by teens for teens, the Project's DVDs/videos, books and website links address areas of concern to teens, their families, educators and agencies serving youth.
