CALCON 2018

We now accept that our race and socioeconomic status affects our health. Recognizing these indirect factors that affect health is the first step in addressing and promoting health to the minority patrons we serve. There are local health resources that libraries can access to provide free or low-cost health programming. In this presentation participants will learn about the health programming that the Riverside Library/High Plains Library District has implemented for patrons. We will also discuss online health resources, not Google, that are available to help connect patrons to reliable health information that will help them achieve their full health potential.
