In honor of National Medical Librarians Month, please share any pictures or promotions your libraries are doing on the MLA-Phil website!

I’ll start this off with where I work. On the Drexel University Health Sciences Libraries’ website, there will be a blog entry (update: here it is!) with a link to profiles of the librarians.

To see what other libraries are doing in the region, take a look at the Middle Atlantic Region on NLM’s website. This page features a description of Delaware Academy of Medicine’s Wellness Wednesdays.
