New way to contact us
The observant among you may have noticed that a 'Chat to a Librarian' link has appeared on our online catalogue. This is something we are trying out to see if it works, if people find it useful and if we can answer the Chats! If we appear off-line or don't answer it doesn't mean we aren't here and you can leave a message...we will always give priority to users at the desk and as we are often helping people in the computer room we may not always be able to answer.

Kate is our singer in the library - not when she is at work I hasten to add - but perhaps singing will be heard around the hospital following on from this article! "Maternal singing during kangaroo care led to autonomic stability in preterm infants and reduced maternal anxiety"
