The National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) and The American Library Association (ALA) have partnered through the Libraries Transform public awareness campaign to create a free toolkit to help library professionals raise awareness of how libraries provide trusted health information to their communities.
The toolkit provides key messages, program ideas and downloadable marketing materials, including bookmarks and social media graphics, for libraries to use as they promote health literacy during Health Literacy Month (October) and throughout the year.
Eight new Because statements and accompanying resources were added to the toolkit in 2018, covering a wide-ranging array of health literacy topics including genetics, family history, clinical trials, citizen science projects, customizing care and student well-being.
Join the Libraries Transform Campaign to receive updates and access to these new tools.
Download posters, postcards, bookmarks and other materials, get key messages and tips for using the Health Literacy Toolkit locally, and receive updates about the campaign from the American Library Association.
Registration is required so we can stay in touch with campaign participants.
We promise not to share your information.
You can trust us. We’re librarians.
