The Trust Libraries Newsletter / January2017
Our space or yours….?
The libraries are being used increasingly for their space. Don’t forget than in addition to professional searching and enquiry services, resources for patient care and education, we offer space; peace and quiet to concentrate on that rota, tables to spread out those notes, corners for informal meetings, computers for small group training when all other rooms are booked.

Emma only took up running a couple of years ago and has never completed a race of this distance before. If you would like to support her in this endeavour, you can sponsor her here:
