New on the team

The Health Library would like to welcome two new members of staff.

Jayne Hickton (jayne.hickton@northstaffs.nhs.uk) will be replacing Marilyn Vigurs as the Outreach Librarian for the two primary care trusts, local social services and hospices. Jayne was previously a Community Librarian for Stoke-on-Trent Libraries with responsibility for Bentilee and Meir Libraries and is well versed in delivering library services within a community setting. Jayne is there to help people whom find it difficult to visit the Health Library directly. Further details of the service are available on the Health Library website.

Tom Fallows (t.j.fallows@lib.keele.ac.uk) has joined the team as a new part-time library assistant, who will be staffing the new Sunday opening to be launched on 3rd August. Tom began working in libraries while studying for a Film degree at Plymouth College of Art & Design and has since worked at Hanley Library and several different bookshops within Stoke-on-Trent. Watch out for Tom's forthcoming book on George A. Romero, which is due for release in October.
