I wanted to let everyone know that each library will be receiving a tool kit from the Foundation for Healthy Living’s Center for Best Practices for the Prevention of Early Childhood Overweight and Obesity to promote their Healthy Kids NY Library Week, which is May 4th-10th. The tool kits include posters, bookmarks, and educational materials to help promote healthy living and eating habits for children. I encourage you to display these materials and consider making it a topic for your story time programs during that week.

WHAT:

We encourage you to be creative in taking photos that capture the essence of New York librarianship.
