There are many reasons to love the Enoch Pratt, and here's another: The library will offer free H1N1 flu shots this Friday (Dec. 11) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The clinic comes as the state opens up swine flu vaccinations to a broader audience, now that the vaccine supply has increased. Until now, most vaccinations have been aimed at special groups such as pregnant women and young children.

Both the H1N1 and regular flu shots will be available at the Pratt. (The Baltimore Sun has a list of other clinics, too.) The Pratt clinic, provided by the ACE Coalition Flu Clinic, will be held in the main hall of the Central Library, 400 Cathedral Street in Baltimore. Doctors and nurses will be available to answer questions about flu and other health problems.
