That is a health-awareness\u00a0slogan spotted by one of our librarians in a local school and\u00a0a helpful thing to remember as we approach the time of year when we’re all cooped up inside. Then there’s the added joy that thoughts of the upcoming flu season bring!<\/p>\n

Lots of flu\u00a0news has been in the\u00a0headlines\u00a0this year, so we thought\u00a0a collection of advice and links on the topic would be useful. We\u00a0made a resource guide<\/a> with lots of things to think about, but our take away message to all\u00a0staff and visitors at The Ames Library is\u00a0to consider your own health as well as\u00a0the well-being of those around you by remembering these tips:<\/p>\n

1. Sneeze into your elbow (kleenex can’t stand the pressure!)<\/p>\n

2. Wash your hands frequently (there’s also a supply of alcohol wipes at the 1st floor information desk in the library if you want to wipe down a keyboard)<\/p>\n

3. Go to IWU’s\u00a0Arnold Health Service<\/a> if you have a fever or need medical advice.<\/p>\n

A visual representation of this message\u00a0was designed by\u00a0one of our talented Ames Library Student Assistants. Click on\u00a0the\u00a0image\u00a0below to get a halfsheet-sized poster you can put in your room or office for others to see!<\/p>\n

So take care of yourself and\u00a0make sure you ask for help if you feel under the weather\u00a0this winter!<\/p>\n
