Dear all,
Can anyone help me with information about Patients/Hospital
Libraries either run by the local authority or in conjunction with a
hospital.
I am looking for good examples of current practise in Patients
Libraries and current thinking on what Patients Libraries should be or
future developments.
This is particularly in relation to provision for members of the public (not
medical staff):
1) recreational reading - magazines, fiction, non fiction
2) services - ward delivery, housebound service, information
3) information - how provided, who by
4) what is the relation between the local public library
service and the hospital trust
5) Is there a separate patients library and medical/nursing
library - how do they relate?
thankyou for your time
