PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess the involvement of libraries in health literacy programs and initiatives based on a review of the literature.Design/methodology/approachFour databases were searched for papers that described health literacy programs and initiatives within libraries.FindingsSeveral themes of health literacy programs in libraries emerged: health literacy for older adults, underserved populations, the general public, healthcare professionals, and medical students, and patients. Collaborations between libraries and community organizations were frequently used.Practical implicationsLibrarians may use this review to understand the history of health literacy efforts and libraries to inform future programming. This review will contextualize current research on health literacy and libraries.Originality/valueDespite the currency and relevance of this topic, there are no literature reviews on health literacy and librarianship.
