Health Information Week

This week is Health Information Week, a national, multi-sector campaign promoting high-quality information for patients and the public.

Health Information Week 2020 runs from 6th to 12th July and focuses on the themes of:

• Finding information you can trust

• Wellbeing

During this week the library will be promoting both themes via the library blog and in the Gosall Library. 

We have a wide range of books in the library on mental and physical wellbeing, some of these on display in the entrance to the library and others on the shelves (some in the ALT/WEL section in the informal seating area just inside the library).

Here is a selection of titles we hold

Whilst the library is currently unstaffed you are welcome to browse the collection and check books out via the self-issue machine.
