On Tuesday 2 June from 10am-2pm, Chelmsley Wood and Hobs Moat libraries will be celebrating the launch of their new Health Hub facilities - and you're invited!

In partnership with Solihull Public Health, Health Exchange, and You+, the library service is introducing a new dedicated area in both libraries where you can complete health checks, seek information or advice and track progress on your personal health journey.

On the day of the launch, there will be health trainers in both Chelmsley Wood and Hobs Moat libraries to guide you through getting the most out of the new facilities. NHS health checks will also be offered, alongside fun competitions with great, healthy prizes. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

The new service includes a ‘Books on Prescription’ collection, which offers self-help titles on dementia and a range of common mental health problems; health and 'healthy lifestyle' books and resources; a blood pressure/weight/BMI measuring machine that can be used free of charge; and a touchscreen Health Information Kiosk where up-to-date health information can be accessed.
