literacy during Health Literacy Month (October) and throughout the year. The additions to the toolkit cover a wide-ranging array of health literacy topics including genetics, family history, clinical trials, citizen science projects, customizing care and student
well-being. The toolkit also covers subjects such as aging, nutrition and chronic illness.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

adult, young adult (teen), and middle grade readers. The goal is to introduce new authors and help librarians start conversations with readers that will extend beyond the books from each list and promote reading for years to come.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16px;">HWA is partnering with United for Libraries, Book Riot, and Library Journal/School Library Journal on “Summer Scares.” Award-winning author Grady Hendrix and a committee of four
librarians will be selecting three recommended fiction titles in each of three reading levels— Middle Grade, Teen, and Adult— for a total of nine “Summer Scares” selections. The goal of the program is to encourage a national conversation about the entire horror
genre, across all age levels, at libraries all over the country and ultimately get more adults, teens, and children interested in reading. Official “Summer Scares” designated authors will also be making themselves available to appear, either virtually or in
person, at public and school libraries all over the country, for free.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

seeks applicants for national Policy Corps<br>
</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.66px;">The American Library Association (<span class="il">ALA</span>) invites library advocates to apply online to join the
<span class="il">ALA</span> Policy Corps. The deadline for applications is Nov. 16. The Corps initiative aims to strengthen advocacy related to key national library policy areas—ranging from broadband equity and copyright, to federal funding and STEM education,
to privacy and cybersecurity.<br>
“Expanding and deepening policy engagement at all levels of government is essential for advancing library priorities more quickly and successfully,” said
<span class="il">ALA</span> President Loida Garcia-Febo. “We are stronger together as we establish national policy library advocates across the country.”<br>
The Corps’ goals include developing policy experts available to the library community,
<span class="il">ALA</span> and the <span class="il">ALA</span> Washington Office, creating longevity in expertise and engagement in early to mid-career library and information professionals, and positively impacting national public policy in areas key to
<span class="il">ALA</span>’s strategic goals. The <span class="il">ALA</span> Washington Office has partnered with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL), Public Library Association (PLA) and
United for Libraries (UNITED) to develop and support the program. A working group of
<span class="il">ALA</span> members and staff guide development of the program.<br>
