What does the health care marketplace have in common with the Dewey Decimal Classification System? First, they both can seem extremely confusing. Second, the library is the place to go for answers.

Certified marketplace navigators from the Community Council of Greater Dallas will be available at select Dallas Public Library branches to provide information on signing up for health care through the Healthcare Marketplace.

Navigators will be at the following library locations Tuesdays from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
