[Libs-Or] Promoting Healthy Communities at the Library

[Arlene Weible]

Two resources have come across my desk recently related to promoting healthy communities with library services.

WebJunction is highlighting health promotion activities at libraries by collecting videos from libraries around the country, collected by the Let's Move In Libraries<http://www.letsmovelibraries.org/> campaign.
https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/healthy-libraries-and-videos.html


There is also a new addition to the State Library's LIS Collection:
[book cover for Promoting Individual and Community Health at Your Library]

Flaherty, Mary Grace. Promoting Individual and Community Health at the Library<https://ccrls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/oslpublic/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:1456148/ada?qu=promoting+individual+and+community>. ALA Editions, 2018. ISBN: 978-0-8389-1627-8.
Public libraries can play an important role in supporting library users in their health information seeking efforts. This book shows how to guide library users to high quality health information by relying on up to date, authoritative sources. It also demonstrates why taking the initiative to offer health promotion programming can be a valuable form of community outreach, serving community needs while increasing visibility.

Table of Contents
A detailed table of contents is available on the LIS Collection blog: https://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2018/04/promoting-individual-and-community.html

If you would like to request this or other materials from the State Library of Oregon please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form).  Otherwise, send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us<mailto:library.request at state.or.us> or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way. Normally a single copy is purchased and is loaned on a first-come-first-serve basis. You may be put on a hold list for several weeks.

Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me<mailto:arlene.weible at state.or.us> to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material.

Be sure to check out our Library and Information Science (LIS) blog<http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/> to discover the most recent additions to our LIS collection and search our catalog<https://ccrls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/oslpublic/> for our complete holdings. The library science collection is meant to support the whole Oregon library community. Library Support and Development Services welcomes your suggestions for acquisitions - see the blog for an input form or email us!
