We’ve been very active on Twitter, posting links to useful health information resources, aimed at the general public.

We’ve been challenging other libraries to post their own tips, and have had some good suggestions come in:

Our top tip is: share the love! Nothing brings joy like recommending a book that will comfort someone and boost their mood. We love connecting with our readers through book chat. Don't just read it – talk about it! You never know who needs to hear that conversation #HIW2020 pic.twitter.com/wbCMQ0T20q

Health Information Week is ’a national, multi-sector campaign promoting high-quality information for patients and the public.’ The themes for this year’s Health Information Week are ‘finding information you can trust,’ and ‘wellbeing,’ with a specific focus on the COVID-19 pandemic.
