CONSUMER HEALTH AND HEALTH LITERACY: WHAT IT MEANS TO LIBRARIANS

 On Thursday, August 13, join BayNet and the Northern California and Nevada
Medical Librarians Group (NCNMLG) at the historic Berkeley City Club for an
informative and important discussion about how to meet the increasing demand

literacy.  

This event will include the perspectives of four experts in the field.
The panel discussion will be from 4-6 PM, and include time for networking
and learning about these two local library organizations.
Registration is $10, and hors d'ouevres will be served.  Please register
