Veterans Resource Centers to Open in Local Library Branches

Veterans Resource Centers to Open in Local Library Branches

Sacramento, Calif. – The State Library and California Department of Veteran Affairs (CalVet) announce the opening of a new Veterans Resource Center at the Whittier Public Library on February 11, 2014. Veterans Resource Centers will also open in Sacramento, Fresno, Los Angeles, Riverside and Ventura libraries in the next month. 
The centers, staffed by library volunteers trained by CalVet, will make it easier for veterans and their families to learn about the state and federal benefits they have earned through military service and how to claim them and about the local services available to them.
Recognizing the need to reach and serve more California veterans, in October 2012, the State Library, in coordination with CalVet, conducted a pilot project to create Veterans Resource Centers in public libraries. The project received grant funding from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services to open veterans centers in Bakersfield, Redding and San Diego libraries.   Those libraries, now open for over a year, have served more than 4,000 veterans and veteran families.
California is home to 1.8 million veterans. An additional 40,000 veterans are expected to return to the state every year for the next several years. State and federal benefits can help veterans and their families move successfully forward in civilian life. Veterans’ benefits can help veterans begin or complete their education, care for their health, get job training, find employment, buy or improve their home, and live out their lives with the dignity and respect they deserve. Some veteran dependents qualify for benefits as well.
Unfortunately, many veterans are unaware of the benefits they are entitled to receive or how to claim them.  The library Veterans Resource Centers have proven to be an effective way for veterans to get the information and assistance they need.
“Our partnership with the State Library furthers CalVet’s mission to serve veterans and their families and gets us into the communities where they live,” said CalVet Secretary Peter J. Gravett. “We’re very happy with the results of the three-library pilot. That the project has received additional funding and is expanding to six more library sites in California speaks for itself.”
“The positive results along with an increasing need to help returning veterans are the reasons that more centers are being funded,” said Acting State Librarian, Gerald Maginnity. “We are proud to provide resources to the men and women in the military who have sacrificed so much for their country.” In addition to Whittier Public Library, centers will be opened in Sacramento and Los Angeles as well as Ventura, Riverside, and Fresno Counties.
For a list of Veterans Resource Center library locations and opening dates, go to http:// caveterans.org/resources-for-veterans.
This project is supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
About the State Library: Founded in 1850, the California State Library is the central reference and research library for the Governor’s office, legislature, state employees, and the general public. The State Library administers federal and state grants for programs in historical preservation, library construction, civil liberties education, literacy, volunteering, and broadband connectivity in public libraries. For more information, visit www.library.ca.gov.
About CalVet: The California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) works to serve California veterans and their families by ensuring they get connected to the state and federal benefits and services they have earned through military service. For more information, visit www.calvet.ca.gov or call 877-741-8532 toll free.
