The social media graphics/interactive exercises included in this toolkit are for libraries to post to their Social Media platforms and hopefully spur engagement and learning around news literacy concepts. These content pieces may offer a fact, or pose a question that can be processed in a short amount time, with an impact coming from visually presented and easily digestible formats. Library staff is encouraged to add some accompanying text along with the content as makes sense for the voice of the library. This content can be used on their own or as part of a larger program/initiative around News Literacy.
