Fostering wellness through physical literacy programs
By helping patrons view the library in a new way, movement-based programs bring new people into libraries, help promote community health, and stimulate literacy for children and adults alike. And the data show that they work: nearly 90 percent of public libraries said their movement-based programs had brought new users into their libraries, according to a recent study, while 80 percent said the programs contributed to community building. “Get Your Community Moving: Physical Literacy Programs for All Ages,” published by ALA Editions, is a new all-in-one guide by Jenn Carson, a professional yoga teacher who has been leading movement-based programs in schools, libraries, and museums for over a decade.
