Have you seen our library books? - Book Amnesty

By

             Wanted!!!             

Have you seen our library books?

Your Health Library teams are holding a book amnesty until the end of February, and are therefore asking if everyone could return any unused library books; which may have been forgotten about.

 • Have items been locked in or left lying around in offices, staff rooms, store rooms and drawers within your department?

 • Maybe you have a shelf at home that’s looking a little too full?

 Fines will be waived on returned  items (subject to circumstance).

 Returning items—please bag them together, write on the bag or include a note saying ‘Amnesty’ and return them via:

• Health Library (Royal Stoke) : returned items box, inside the Clinical Education Centre porch opposite the footbridge.

• Health Library at County : returned items box, inside the chapel door in the Postgraduate Medical Centre.

 For more information— please speak to Frances Griffiths or Paige Simcoe - 01782 679500.
