Abstract

Public libraries play an important role in addressing national health concerns by helping consumers overcome the obstacles of health literacy, and find meaningful health information. Recognizing that health is a global concern, there is an emerging need for proactive health information provisions to help researchers, medical practitioners, students, and common individuals by way of public libraries: They have long been community partners with the mission of providing health information. The demand for health information among the community necessitates that public libraries become proactive in attending to the health information needs of their communities. Hence, this study reviews the role of Cordillera Administrative Region Public libraries as health information providers in terms of their public services such as Reference services, Circulation Services, and Promotions and Marketing Services.
