We have a large collection of fiction in the Gosall library, you can search our catalogue here. If you normally read crime or mystery novels why not try reading a biography? Or if fantasy is normally your bag why not give romance a go?!
We have a few ideas on display in the main library and the rest of our fiction collection can be found in the snug. Please feel free to browse and check out any books of interest using the self-issue machine. Alternatively, email the library team at academic.library@lscft.nhs.uk and we can post books out to you.
The library team is also happy to recommend books for you.
If you are visiting the library please have a look at our display of healthy eating books and help yourself to one of our healthy eating recipe cards. If you are interested in borrowing any of the books on display these can be checked out in the library using the self issue machine. Alternatively if you would like us to post a book out to you please email the library team: academic.library@lscft.nhs.uk
We will be featuring the recipes throughout the month on Twitter, please follow us @LscftL and share your own healthy food creations!
We just wanted to wish all our friends and colleagues a very Merry Christmas. We know this year is not what we intended, however the dedication and commitment of all the NHS staff within the Trust have inevitably saved hundreds of lives this year! Thankyou for all your hard work, motivation and courage to get through one heck of a year.
This is a small reminder that the Lantern Centre will be closed from 5pm on Wednesday 23rd December and will re-open at 8:30am on the 4th January 2021. The Library team will still be available to contact throughout the week, however this will be with minimal staffing. Please continue to send us any requests to our inbox: academic.library@lscft.nhs.uk and we will try our best to get back to you as soon as possible.
For now, have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. We hope you all manage to celebrate in your own way.
