NNLM AoU Community Award: We Care Wellness

We Care Wellness will educate the Pickens County community on how to navigate the Pickens County Library System’s (PCLS) online databases on Health and Medicine (MedlinePlus). PCLS will reserve the FREE room (For Research Education and Enrichment) located at the Pickens County Administration building. PCLS will provide in person cooking demonstrations and showcase the “We Care Wellness” kits that will be available for check out. All the “We Care Wellness” kits and cooking demonstrations will be on health topics that have been recognized as health risk factors in Pickens County. The We Care Wellness project will take place the month of January 2022, when the Pickens County Administration receives the most foot traffic because of property tax due date. According to the United States Census 67.1% of Pickens County housing is owner-occupied. By exposing the residents of Pickens County the wealth of information available to them at their fingertips will prove that We Care about their Wellness.
