[PL-Directors] Apply Now: Digital Pathways: Online Health Literacy Programming for Adults

[HANNING Darci * SLO]

Hello directors,

I'm passing this along in case there's interest in applying:

Over a nine-month period, 12 public libraries will be selected to receive a resource package and hands-on support to strengthen their online health literacy offerings. Participating libraries will use the toolkit to host at least three adult health literacy programs in their communities and will play a key role in shaping the future of this initiative by sharing feedback with project evaluators.

Applications close on January 7, 2026: <https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/digitalpathways> www.ala.org/tools/programming/digitalpathways<https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/digitalpathways>

12 public libraries will receive:
*        Professional development resources, including a practitioner's guide, onboarding webinar and four professional development webinars.
*        $8,000 stipend to cover costs associated with implementing at least three online health literacy programs from the programming guide. Eligible expenses may include hiring a facilitator, buying additional technology or purchasing materials recommended in the practitioner's guide.
*        Access to a community of practice for participating library staff to ask questions, share expertise, offer advice and engage in peer sharing and learning.
For more information on this project and to apply by January 7, please visit: www.ala.org/tools/programming/digitalpathways<https://www.ala.org/tools/programming/digitalpathways>.

This project is developed with the support of UnitedHealthcare.
