Dr. Steevens' Library celebrates Library Ireland Week 2014 17-24th November

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 Say' survey that we would like all staff to complete.

When was the last time you read the evidence?

DROP 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 nuggets of reading material on topics relevant to your work and wellbeing.

We are open for business and with this initiative we are taking our business outside of the confines of the library walls and to encourage people to read the evidence so vital to the success of the health service.

THIS IS A LIBRARY IREALND WEEK 2014 INITIATIVE
