Health literacy affects a person's ability to access, use and understand health care and instructions and can have negative effects on health outcomes. But what is health literacy? What affects it negatively or positively? How can you support health literacy in your community?
Join the Network of the National Library of Medicine Region 7 (NNLM R7) to learn about health literacy, its causes and see live demos of data sources, such as the Census, and health information resources to help customize programming to meet the needs of your local community. This session will also include an introduction to free services and resources from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and NNLM R7, as well as a live activity to get attendees comfortable searching for data and using NLM resources.

Presenter: Lorin Jackson
Traumatic events are commonplace today and impact library workers as much as their users. In this webinar, we will explore what being trauma-informed asks of library workers, what challenges it brings, and how we can begin to address those challenges by reframing them as opportunities to become stronger library workers.
You'll gain an enhanced understanding of how being trauma-informed works in public library spaces for employees. By diving into real examples and sharing your concerns, we will collaborate to bring more clarity and support to growing new challenges about confronting trauma in the library workplace.

With this last webinar, we will take that work one step further to pull the curtain back a bit on digital accessibility and universal design for learning. With this webinar, participants can expect to be able to:
