National Wear Red Day

Why is the library staff all wearing red today?

To promote heart health in women!

Did you know that heart disease is the number 1 killer of women? It causes 1 in 3 deaths each year.

The American Heart Association researches ways to fight against this disease, and today, Wear Red Day, helps raise awareness.

If you'd like to donate to this worthy cause, go to GoRedForWomen.org.

How will you make a difference?
