providers are well-positioned to make the connection between what we know about early literacy development and how adults can help boost that development during the rest of the day.

Bread with Anything Libraries</span></a><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">: Bread has been a major staple of the human diet for thousands of years - in fact, consumption of grains can be traced as far back as the Middle Stone
Age. And while this simple combination of flour, water, salt and yeast can yield many different styles and types of the food, one thing is certain: bread has played in instrumental role in bringing people together. With this concept in mind, Maria Mayo, adult
guide at Anythink Wright Farms, launched "Community Voices," an ongoing series that explores the ways in which strangers can explore and share the things that they have in common with one another.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Your library can play a central role in promoting the health and wellness of its community through fostering higher health literacy. This means increasing people’s capacity
to obtain and understand basic health information that leads to appropriate health decisions and connection with services. Library programs directed toward children, teens, adults, and families deliver credible health information and activities that boost
wellness. The Oklahoma Department of Libraries has fostered health literacy throughout the state, forging partnerships at state and local levels. Learn how one library in Miami, Oklahoma, made health literacy a central part of its operations, offering everything
from diabetes prevention to yoga classes, as well healthy cooking demonstrations and even a community garden. Get ideas for simple (but powerful) health literacy programs you can offer at your library regardless of your size or budget.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
