NLM Traveling Exhibitions – Region 6 Host Sites
Libraries and cultural institutions present inspiring stories about history, society, and medicine to their communities through National Library of Medicine (NLM) Traveling Exhibitions. Curated from NLM collections and available free of charge, these exhibitions explore current themes in public health and connect visitors to trusted NLM health information resources such as MedlinePlus and PubMed.
NLM Traveling Exhibitions help to:
Connect your community to NLM offerings like MedlinePlus and PubMed

Establish community partnerships and share NLM health information resources with partner institutions
Foster health literacy in your community
