Book Clubs or reading groups are a staple of library outreach and literacy efforts. People gather to discuss Oprah\u2019s picks or the New York Times\u2019 Best Sellers to socially engage with literature and current events.<\/p>\n

To help grow health literacy, the NNLM All of Us Community Engagement Network<\/a> announces the launch of the NNLM Reading Club. The goal is to support libraries\u2019 health literacy efforts and address local communities\u2019 health information needs by celebrating important National Health Observances<\/a> through the fun and intimacy of a book club.<\/p>\n

The NNLM Reading Club offers a selection of three different book titles along with corresponding free, ready-to-use materials designed to help promote and facilitate a book club discussion on a health issue or topic. It\u2019s easy to download the discussion materials and direct patrons to the library\u2019s book holdings. However, the NNLM is offering an added benefit.<\/p>\n

Beginning November 1st, participating NNLM libraries are making the quarterly Reading Club picks available in a free<\/i>, handy, portable Book Club Kit. This program-in-a-box format includes 8 copies of each of the following items: the selected book, discussion guide, MedlinePlus.gov<\/a> flyer, NIH MedlinePlus Magazine<\/a>, NIH All of Us<\/i> Research Program<\/a> brochure and additional material in support of the health topic all of which are tucked inside a handy library book bag and shipped to the requesting library.<\/p>\n

Any U.S. library that is an organizational member of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine<\/a> is eligible to apply and to receive\u00a0one<\/u> NNLM Reading Club Book Kit from November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019. Due to the limited supply of federally-sponsored NNLM Reading Club Book Kits, libraries that support outreach to vulnerable populations receive priority status.<\/p>\n

Visit the NNLM Reading Club<\/a> page to browse the November selections and download the ready-to-use materials or to order an NNLM Book Club Kit from a participating region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
