NNLM Reading Club Grants

Deadline: ongoing

To help grow health literacy, the The National Network of Libraries of Medicine and the NIH All of Us Community Engagement Network provides the NNLM Reading Club mini-award program. The goal is to support libraries’ health literacy efforts and address local community health information needs. The NNLM Reading Club offers the fun of a book club so that readers can discuss health and wellness topics. Discover books, authors, and health information surrounding a National Health Observance - and apply for a freeNNLM Reading Club Book Kit!

Participating NNLM regions are offering the Reading Club Book Kits, a program-in-a-box format which includes 8 copies of each of the following items: the selected book, discussion guides, bookmarks, NIH MedlinePlus Magazine, NIH All of Us Research Program brochure and additional material to support the kit, inside a sturdy library book bag.

Any U.S. library that is a Network Member of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine is eligible to apply for one NNLM Reading Club Book Kit. Libraries that support outreach to vulnerable populations and encourage participation by these groups will receive priority status.

Your library may already be an NNLM Network Member. Network member libraries can be public, hospital or academic libraries. Search the Member Directory to find out. If not, network membership is free; members belong to a network of many types of libraries across the country that are interested in providing quality health information services in their communities through training, funding, and other free NNLM services. Learn more and apply to become a member at nnlm.gov/psr/members. Visit the NNLM Reading Club to submit the online application form.
