The Health Libraries have a limited number of free copies of a book of short stories entitled "Stories to Make you Smile" to distribute across the Trust for #WorldBookNight on April 23rd. Books will be distributed to staff, patients and members of the Public in a Covid safe way.
If you wish to access the Health Library at County during evenings and weekends and do not hold a County hospital ID badge (for example if your main place of work is Royal Stoke but you live nearer County) you may apply for an additional access pass for which we ask for a returnable deposit of £10.
Conversely if you are in possession of an Out of Hours access badge which you no longer use, please return the badge to us so we can reallocate it to another library user and you may be eligible for a £10 refund. Pop in during office hours or contact us x2913 and we will try and arrange to collect it from you. For security reasons please do not post it if the card is still active.
Please note that the access badge is a separate card to your Health Library membership card.
As usual the library is open 24/7 to members who have requested extended access. Otherwise staff can access the library during PGMC opening hours.
This week library staff are available on site during the following times (note if you receive this post as an email you may need to click the link to read the details in full):
