Preston Medical Library Recipient of "Blue Ribbon Award"
The Preston Medical Library and Learning Resource Center has been chosen by the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) as one of the winners of the national "NCLIS Blue Ribbon Consumer Health Information Recognition Award for Libraries."
The Tennessee State Library and Archives nominated Preston as the Tennessee library doing the best job of offering consumer health information and promoting healthy lifestyles. “Tennessee is a state in which information professionals take seriously their role as information providers for the state's citizens,” said State Librarian Edwin Gleaves. “At the Preston Medical Library, the staff actively promotes consumer health information. Any consumer may call or email the library with a request for information on a diagnosis or preventive health topic. Librarians will do the search, find quality health information, and mail or email the information directly to the patron. There is no charge to the consumer.”
Preston invites the community to celebrate with the library staff as they receive the plaque from the Tennessee State Librarian on Tuesday, August 10 at 3:00 PM. Refreshments will be served.
