On behalf of the NNLM Reading Club team, in honor of Health Literacy Month, we are pleased to announce that the theme for October 2025 is Health Literacy. We are pleased to be featuring three new books related to this topic:

• Bibliotherapy in the Bronx by Emely Rumble
• Graphic Public Health: A comics anthology and roadmap by Meredith Li-Vollmer
• How Medicine Works and When It Doesn’t: Learning who to trust to get and stay healthy by F. Perry Wilson

This is a topic that was featured several years ago, so you will also find previously featured books with the updated content. Looking for ideas to celebrate Health Literacy Month? You can find a toolkit from the Institute for Healthcare Advancement (IHA). We would like to thank our NNLM Reading Club Advisory Group, which is made up of NNLM Members who worked together to choose this topic, select the three books we are featuring this month, and to develop book discussion guides.

Books and health information resources are available on our Reading Club website: NNLM Reading Club
