Now might be time to look at some JCPL resources and recommended links for staying healthy. Through our digital collection of databases, you can check out Facts on File's Health Reference Center. All you need to access these sites at home is your JCPL card and a four digit PIN number. If you don't have a number, call your local library today and we can set one up for you over the phone.
In February you can also stop in at the library and get free and low-cost health screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol and vision. There are different programs offered at each location. Check out our monthly events calendar for more information.
The National Institutes of Health has recently announced NIH Senior Health, a site aimed at older Americans that features larger print options, a print contrast control for easier reading, and each page comes with the option to have the text on the screen read to you.
You can also check out a wide variety of health topics at the NIH's Medline Plus site all year long.

On an unrelated but timely note, the state of Indiana also sends us this helpful link this week to the Better Business Bureau's charity check website. Click on the special button for tips and information about those charities registered and working in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti. Now you can check before you give.
