Nogales approves library health partnership with Mariposa Community Health Center
Summary
Council approved a professional services agreement with Mariposa Community Health Center to provide preventative-health programming and mobile baby areas at Nogales libraries; council corrected a contract date typographical error before voting.
The Nogales City Council voted on June 24 to approve a professional services agreement between the City of Nogales Public Library and Mariposa Community Health Center to provide preventative-health programs and “mobile baby areas” at all four city libraries.
Library representative Tanita presented the agreement, saying the partnership is intended to expand preventative-health education and update library materials across the system: “We wanna offer more programs on preventative health, have some mobile baby areas at all 4 libraries, and be able to offer information that maybe the public doesn't have at this moment.” A city official noted a typographical error in the contract term (it listed a 2025 end date); a Mariposa representative confirmed it was a typo and that services are intended to run for a full year.
A councilmember moved to approve the agreement with the corrected contract date; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The city attorney’s office reviewed the agreement, the library said, and the library staff offered to return to the council with implementation updates as programs progress.
