Professor Mary Grace Flaherty, author of “Promoting Individual and Community Health at Your Library,” has extensive experience with libraries providing health information to the general public. This fascinating episode focuses on the many services that libraries provide and how health systems can partner with libraries to promote health and improve outcomes. Mike Sacopulos and Cheryl Toth also cover the role of public libraries in distinguishing poor and misleading health information.   https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/promoting-individual-and-community-health-library
