Health Library MOT
Why not start by checking your Health Library knowledge by taking a library MOT?
Try our online MOT or use the print version here.
You’ll find the answers here.

Ask a Question
Have you got a burning question but are too afraid to ask? Post it on our display board. Take a speech bubble, write your question, pin it to the board, we’ll post the answer later.

Literature Search Q&A
We’ll be running drop-in literature search sessions through-out the week. Check in the library for times and location. Our librarian team will be waiting to help.

Photo Teaser
We’ll be running a teaser photo competition during the week. See if you can guess where in the library this is:
