The Final Chapter of the NNLM Reading Club
For more than seven years, the NNLM Reading Club has been a sustainable community outreach program. Designed as a national toolkit to promote health literacy, the program set out to award book kits to NNLM network partners such as academic health science and public libraries to raise awareness of All of Us and precision medicine and to share health information resources from NIH, NLM, and NNLM. As we turn a new page, continue to search the NNLM Reading Club. With more than 200 book titles and over 50 health topics to choose from, you are certain to find something to read and share.
