access to reliable health information. This panel presentation provides an overview of the field of public health, highlighting innovative health promotion initiatives at public libraries, and covering training and funding resources for health-related library
outreach and programming. Join the conversation about building your community’s health literacy.<o:p></o:p></p>

There are big changes on the E-rate horizon! E-rate is an important program to many libraries, and whether you have participated in E-rate in the past, or are looking to apply for first time, you will want to know about the changes. This federal program provides
discounts to assist schools and public libraries in the United States to obtain affordable Internet access and connections. Join us to learn about the new E-Rate Productivity Center (EPC), and new ways to file forms, track application status and communicate
with the FCC.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in">
This workshop will cover the basics of the E-rate program and demonstrate how to access and use your EPC account to submit your Funding Year 2016 E-rate application. Get the information you need to be successful in your application.<o:p></o:p></p>
