Abstract

While the way we consume information in our society is evolving, libraries are also dynamic and ever-changing. Libraries still matter, whether because of their access to a vast collection of books, the expertise of their librarians, or simply because they're a fantastic location. Public libraries can reach out to their users through these activities, creating awareness and interest in healthy lifestyles, providing access to high-quality health information, and eventually improving citizen health literacy. A framework is proposed by synthesizing prominent pieces of literature to guide through the rest of the study in providing a reference for the library for establishing health-related activities or programmes.
