Things we did
You might have seen from a flurry of emails that the library has been having a bit of a spring clean by getting rid of everything from some flower vases to a printer. This has given us some more space, we have some new computer chairs in the library for our users and also a better place to work with your own laptop. Kate has also  been spring cleaning and has unworn wellies to sell (sizes adult 7/8/9) if you are interested!

Things we went to
Sarah went off Leeds on Tuesday to meet up with other NHS Library managers in Yorkshire & Humberside. I (Gill) went off to London on Thursday as I am on a user group committee for our library management software. Kate is currently studying on the City & Guild's 'Preparing to teach' course so she was off out on Wednesday..you will be able to see her in action at next week's InfoBites. Just occasionally you can catch all three of us in the library at the same time!

Things to come to
InfoBites next week on Tuesday 3rd Dec at 13:00 is a quick 20 min taster on the subject 'Why Social Media'. As usual cakey nibbles will be available or bring your lunch with you. Find out what is available, how best to use it and workplace possibilities.
