The description of the event.

Montana public libraries are an ideal place to get the public thinking and talking about health. This presentation will highlight programs and resources libraries offer that support health initiatives. We will provide examples as well as information on free resources. We hope to have Montana librarians discuss their programs.

As an engagement specialist with the Network of the National Library of Medicine, George Strawley, M.L.I.S., works on funding and training aimed at addressing health disparities through reliable health information. He works for the network’s Region 4, which serves the Intermountain West and the Dakotas. With library experience in both public and academic settings, he is based at the University of Utah Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library.
