...is now closed and we do have a winner who will be announced next week. If you didn't get a chance to enter by the due date you can still pop along to the library with your entry form and get a limited edition Healthcare Library Oyster card holder. We will give you your account PIN at the same time, which allows you to log into your library account and renew your books online or reserve books that are currently on loan. Very useful for the times you can't make it into the library!
We may run another Quiz here in the Healthcare Library next year, with a different format and a new theme, so keep your eyes on this blog. In the meantime you can always sign up for a training course, to hone those information finding skills! Contact Sian Aynsley on 0208 836 6742 or sianaynsley@nhs.net for more details.
