October is Health Literacy Month and it’s just around the corner! There are many impactful ways that libraries can support community health education this fall and we’re highlighting some of these opportunities to help you prepare.

The next open enrollment window for the Health Insurance Marketplace is scheduled for November 1, 2015 – January 31, 2016.
Use the Navigate the Marketplace guide to prepare to address patron inquiries and identify partners during open enrollment.

Five public libraries collaborated with Health Happens in Libraries to develop and deliver community health activities. WebJuntion  will share each library’s unique experience over the next several weeks, and encourage you to explore the Resources page for great tools to get started on your own community health activities.

Share your ideas for dynamic health programs using the hashtag #libs4health and join them on October 21 for a webinar, Public Health and Public Libraries: Librarians as Health Literacy First Responders.
