As we welcome warmer days and more time outside, it’s the perfect moment to talk about skin cancer awareness. Did you know that skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States? The good news is—it’s also one of the most preventable.
This May, TCC Libraries are joining the conversation to help raise awareness and share tips for protecting your skin all year round. Whether you're gardening, heading to the beach, or just walking the dog, remember these simple steps:
🧴 Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
đź‘’ Use hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing
🌤 Seek shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
👩‍⚕️ Schedule regular skin checks with your doctor
Looking to learn more? We’ve curated a selection of books and resources on skin health, cancer prevention, and sun safety—available now at your local campus and through our digital library.
