Go Pink!: Breast Cancer Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Show your support by wearing pink and educating yourself and others about the dangers of breast cancer and the importance of getting regular health check ups. Library staff will be showing our support on October 19th by wearing pink at the library!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2009

It's already been a year. As you may know, October is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, when women are asked to think about breast self-examinations, mammograms and general breast-friendly living, including diet and exercise.

Here are some links--many the same as last year's--to help you find more information about breast cancer.
