Provide educational programs at the Jackson County Public Library

What Is It?

Providing educational programs at the Jackson County Public Library was identified by the Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Action Team as an action, that when combined with other actions in our community, has a reasonable chance of making a difference in fruit and vegetable consumption as well as weight status in our community. This is a new program in our community.

The audience for this strategy are the community at large, especially those who use library services. Currently, the Jackson County Library has many programs in place (Ex: Storytime) that would marry well with a strategy such as this. Working within an existing program will prove more successful as a captive audience is already in place. This strategy aims to make a difference at the individual level-- working to increase individual's knowledge and influence over his or her attitudes and beliefs regarding healthy eating and physical activity. Implementation will take place at the Jackson County Public Library.
