Abstract

The study is anticipated to assist school libraries in creating and managing an effective programme to promote health literacy throughout the community. School libraries can better promote health literacy and healthy living by participating in these programmes. The research will adopt a mixed-methods strategy, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. Expanding school library services to incorporate health literacy promotes their vitality and well-being. Furthermore, by integrating significant works of literature, a framework may be developed to guide the research and act as a reference for a library for developing health-related activities or programmes.
