<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Seattle Public Library, the D.C. Public Library, and the Fayette Public Library Museum and Archives (in LaGrange, TX) invites you to learn about their innovative work to support teen mental health through
co-design and VR. The project, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, gives teens the chance to build positive mental health practices and bring those to the design and development of mental health-based VR experiences. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">You can get started learning about the project on its website,
