New Fact-Checking Resource Available at the New Haven Free Public Library

NHFPL Communications and Marketing Team

At the New Haven Free Public Library (NHFPL), we believe that informed communities are strong communities. That’s why we’re excited to celebrate National News Literacy Week by launching our brand-new Information Literacy page!

In today’s fast-paced digital world, misinformation spreads quickly. It can be challenging to tell the difference between reliable news, misleading content, and outright falsehoods. Our new Information Literacy page is designed to help you develop the skills to fact-check sources, recognize bias, and think critically about the information you consume.

Our new page (which can be accessed at nhfpl.org/factcheck) offers fact-checking resources to verify claims and debunk misinformation, tips for evaluating sources and spotting fake news, and links to free guides on media bias to help you navigate today’s media landscape.

All resources shared on this page are unbiased, nonpartisan, and verified as trustworthy by our information professionals on staff. Whether you’re a student, educator, or lifelong learner, these tools will empower you to engage with the news confidently and responsibly.

We’re proud to announce we’ll also be hosting more programming in the future centered around building these skills for all ages. We’ve also added some new books to our collection to assist with fact-checking and evaluating news sources. Sign up for our monthly newsletter at nhfpl.org/subscribe for updates on these offerings.

Join us in promoting news literacy and building a more informed community. Visit nhfpl.org/factcheck today or call your local branch for assistance.
