Did you know that more than 90 million U.S. adults have low health literacy? For Health Literacy Month this October, the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) and Libraries Transform have partnered to create a free toolkit for raising awareness of how libraries support health literacy in their communities.
The toolkit includes customizable tools to promote health literacy in October and throughout the year. You can access free graphics, program ideas, and key messages now from the Libraries Transform website.
