Health Literacy Month Toolkit and Webinar

October is Health Literacy Month! ALA's Public Awareness Office has partnered with the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) on a pilot program to create a Libraries Transform toolkit for showcasing the many ways libraries promote health literacy in their communities.

The free toolkit, which is available here<http://www.ilovelibraries.org/librariestransform/health-literacy-toolkit-intro>, includes health literacy data, key messages and talking points sourced through NNLM, as well as nine "Because" statements that speak to some of the varied health literacy issues that libraries address. Each statement comes with downloadable graphics including posters, social media images, and more. The toolkit also includes ideas for libraries to use these tools for promoting their own services and programming.

NNLM is hosting a webinar<https://nnlm.gov/class/libraries-transform-health-literacy-toolkit/7708> on September 14 for library advocates to learn more about the toolkit.
