Dr. Steevens' Library is celebrating Library
Ireland Week. This year's theme is 'Open For Business'. Dr. Steevens' Library Staff will be
in the staff canteen this week, looking for your feedback on library
services. Drop by and talk to us. We have a 'Your Library, Your

EVERYTHING AND READ!
Dr. Steevens Library
challenges you to set aside the next 5, 10 or 15 minutes for reading. The
following email contains links to 5/10 minute

We are open for business

the library walls and to encourage people to read the evidence so vital to the
success of the health service.
